I am strongly against the construction of the Mallard Pass Solar Farm. I am a local and I am concerned about the destruction and disruption of wildlife and their habitats, the destruction of valuable farmland (especially given the shortages of vegetables that we are seeing on supermarket shelves, covering all this land with solar pannels and concrete does not seem to be the wisest solution. It will render this land useless and damaged), the disruptions it will cause for local residents and their businesses, and of course, the spoiling of beautiful landscape. In an effort to be more self-sufficient and to minimalize disruption and damage to wildlife and residents, I think solar pannels on rooves are a better option.
