The local schools did the same thing. Every tree in every parking lot cut down for carports with gizmos on top.
Made my blood boil.
A mass murderer of trees.
I didn’t know there were tree-huggers at Free Republic.
I wonder if they were they required to file an Environmental Impact Report?
People made fun of Ronald Reagan when he said it. Turns out, he was on the right track.

Idiots. I like trees and have lots of them on my property. The tree of life!
HEADLINE NEXT WEEK:
Federal Government task force to investigate sudden large CO2 Increase In NJ
I hope somebody has the ability to track costs on this. I will be interesting to see how long the solar farm takes to pay itself off.
Wonder how they plan to store energy for cloudy days and use at night?
It’s OK to destroy the environment and wildlife when it’s for imaginary “green” energy.
Another example of the TOTAL failure of the American education system. Total failure!
A massive solar panel installation in New Jersey. I would say that is a joke but then again, it is New Jersey. There is no way in hell that a solar installation in NJ will be economical and practical. Consider all of the cloudy and rainy weather in the state. Then add all of the snow and ice in the Winter months. Who gets to shovel the snow and break the ice off of those panels?
It is quite apparent that this company will be getting massive government subsidies in one form or another. Even so, based upon the experience of solar panel installations in the deserts of Southern California, the electric generation output of these panels never comes close to the original projected electric generation. We have a huge installation here in the desert funded by massive guaranteed loans. It is not coming close to its projected generating capacity. We hear such excuses as there being more cloudy days than anticipated. The funniest one is that the con trails from commercial passenger jets are blocking out the sun.
Just what I was thinkin’ when I clicked on the abstract. New Jersey fools. Our state borders it, and I can’t untinkingly even drive over to get gasoline without endangering my freedom big time, because I’m licensed to carry CDW in my state.
And all those birds....
Just rapacious.
This is when it gets SILLY. If they want to generate 23 Megawatts, they can do it WITHOUT cutting down a forest, on land that isn’t doing much in the first place - such as desert in the Southwest. Furthermore, because of the sunshine there, it would only require half the land, and if you’re trying to SAVE THE WORLD from global warming, it doesn’t matter which grid you feed, as long as you’re offsetting what would otherwise be fossil fuel burning, which would be the case out there.
But then putting it in New Jersey, no doubt in PLAIN VIEW of people going to 6 Flags “sends a message” that you care, like buying a Tesla. You don’t buy a Tesla because it’s practical or useful, you buy it to show others how much you care, and they don’t.
Slick!
Ya got to brown to be green? This Nation is getting really weird.
