I honestly think large solar farms raise the air temps around them. They were finding that out in Nevada as the temperatures around the solar farms were 10-15 degrees more than other areas around them.
I thought the same thing. Anyone who is has ever done heat transfer of Aluminum would think so and that sure is a hell of a lot of aluminum framing in 750 football fields, not to mention the reflectivity of the panels themselves. That’s the rub, who at the EPA has done any published studies on this.
My county has been starting to look like California too because of the vast areas of undergrowth and brush allowed to happen by Ohio natural resources. All the past farming leases are no longer in effect, imagine that. Another organization the “greenies” have taken over. A disaster in the making.
