Solar Farms

@sallypup I heard that those were noisy!

You don't have thousands of them though.

@kareng No. My state does have quite a few wind farms, though.

The thing here is forests are being cleared out and therefore, the environment is left in a bad situation as far as wildlife is concerned. They are going to have to deal with trees popping up all over the place for years to come.

@wolfgirl569 Nope all of the areas they have leased was mostly leased hunting areas that are 100% wooded. That is the saddest part about this.

@kareng I don't like seeing them take trees down for it. There should have been plenty of space that was already open

All of the power the farm produces will be sold to an electric company or companies. Nothing for residents or our local electric company. My main concerns are the dangers and health risks, such as electromagnetic hypersensitivity, exposure to electromagnetic radiation fields, and increase in cancer risks. Those are biggies.

@youless It is a proven fact that they do. They won't be falling on anyone. They will all be on private land or leased land. If anyone goes on the land, they will be trespassing and can go to jail for that.

@kareng I think for these power won't lead to cancer risks. But if they are on fire due to accidents, then it will be an issue. Or if there is a storm and the destory will lead to dangers as the falling parts can hurt people.

That is not a solution and not profitable in the long run.

@kareng We have not installed one.

In the long run, they are not economical and not worth the $$ put out for construction and then clean up of the sites when shut down.

@kareng The areas that I know of that have them have had them for about 10 years, I don't know if they will ever close.

I guess we will see what happens over the next few years here. Thanks for your feedback.

I've heard horror stories about when they are done with them, they will leave all the stuff there to deteriorate. Also, about things leaking into the ground that can contaminate ground water and anyone that has a well and uses well water. So that would be bad. I'm just going to be spending some time on reading up on it all. Apparently we will just have to live with it. I'm disappointed that so many leased and sold to them to have all the trees and forest disrupted and the wildlife that will now be driven off. So much for the countryside here.

They sell it all to the electric companies.

That is what I would prefer. But it's going to be 50' away from property lines. Thank God it is not right next to us, or not at present time. I think the people that bought the property behind us and it winds around our other end of property want to keep it intact. They do hunting and also built a new home way in the back in the middle of the woods. Now the farm will butt up to their property on the other side of our field. Not sure about in the back. I need to get a copy of that map.
