Comment on Michigan to clear 400+ acres of state forest for solar farm to meet "clean energy" goals

  No it isn’t. Forrest is a much more diverse ecosystem than grassland.

  And from a purely economical point: you’d need to clear the forest and engineer something to make the ground suitable for the construction of the solar park. It doesn’t make sense if there is an area without a Forrest.

    It also doesn’t make sense since the trees capture carbon. This is a dumb dumb move.

    It has become obvious that you have no concept of what the Great Lakes Region looks like.
