This project will take away thousands of acres of productive farmland which will be a very valuable resource in the future as our population continues to explode and world markets are denied us! Food production is vital, alternative energy isn’t! Nature will be denied habitat and the further away from Nature we get the more unhealthy we become. We need to leave this farmland open to Nature! We need Nature for our mental and physical health and this project will be denying me the access I have presently. The solar panels are not proven to be energy efficient. How will they be disposed of at the end of their use. Their manufacture requires processes which are not energy efficient. Solar panels do not produce a continuous supply of energy, their production rate is often very low!
