Replacing forests with solar
(techxplore.com)
No.
No.

No.
No.
Just fucking no
Meaning?
Perhaps that not a single reference to the article is about measuring the benefits of forests. Therefore I am lead to believe that the benefits of current land use is not adequately valued, neither in dollar value, not carbon value.
Besides, the option should be putting solar in rooftops and above parking lots and above roads etc. Not taking pristine land for such a endeavour. That way we get the benefit of BOTH the solar farm and the forest, so almost 100% better.
If I get you correctly, I totally agree with what you say. I didn't like the tone of this article in the sense that it presents it ok to clear out forest for solar panels, and personally I believe it's criminal, or something. I just thought it had some important info.
Thank you for giving me the chance to clarify where I stand on this and I will edit the post to reflect this.
What's your guess? What could possibly elicit such a response to an article like this?
Anything I suppose, this is why I'm asking.
I could be no, don't cut the trees, or no, don't talk bad about solar energy expansion, or... you name it! No?
What point does solar energy have if one has to live without forests for it? I would rather have entire human society collapse than lose the nature to keep supporting the infinite growth of the cancer.
We have more than enough deserts.
