    Aside from the purpose, why do they do that? Do they rent the land to a power company to help them pay for their land taxes?
    Wasting prime farmland is bullshit in every sense…….
    Also heard some scientists feel that they create this heat island thing. I copied and pasted this . There was more of the positive side I think it to be a little bull


    Negative climate-related factors
    • Manufacturing emissions: Producing solar panels is an energy-intensive process that results in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is particularly an issue when manufacturing relies on fossil-fuel-dependent grids, especially for processes like refining silicon.
    • Carbon payback period: The GHG emissions from manufacturing and transport create a "carbon debt." It can take between one to three years for a solar farm to generate enough clean electricity to offset this initial carbon footprint.
    • Land use and ecosystems: The extensive land clearing required for large-scale solar farms can disrupt ecosystems and habitats. Removing native vegetation reduces biodiversity and affects the soil, potentially impacting its ability to sequester carbon.
    • Microclimate effects: Large solar arrays can create a "heat island effect" by absorbing and re-emitting heat. Some studies show this can raise local air temperatures, especially in arid areas. The shading from panels also impacts vegetation and soil moisture directly beneath them.
    • Recycling challenges: While the materials are largely recyclable, end-of-life disposal and recycling technologies are still evolving. Improper disposal could lead to waste and potential environmental hazards, though regulations are being developed to address this..
    A heat island over your house @lynyrd3 doesn’t sound great……..

    Read a thing somewhere about this and storm patterns……

    Story time:
    1999 I was in South ATL at Smokin' Grooves [music festival] :rasta:
    Watching the Outkast play
    We can see a HUGE storm coming in from the North . . . and we are like fuuuuck, this gonna suuuuck
    We can see the lightning etc. moving closer
    And then when the storm hits about the northern 1/3 of ATL, it starts to break up
    The heat island created by ATL made the storm basically break up over the city itself
    The outlying areas still got pounded but the city was bone dry

    Isn't that interesting?
    One can watch a radar time lapse covering several hours, with disturbed areas popping up and fizzling out.
    Rarely is the correlation so clear cut as that.
