Oh MY GOD. They CLEARCUT TWO SQUARE MILES.
If this was a timber harvesting company they would be immediately subject to fines for run off, etc. Especially when it comes to runoff into wetlands/streams any bodies of water.
However, because it is a solar farm it was OKEY DOKEY, with the government.
On Federal lands in the western US you are not allowed to log within 50-100’ of a stream. Especially if that stream is the spawning grounds of salmon.
Great perspectives and great point about how timber companies would be treated. Thanks for adding that.
The two-tier systems of environmental law are absolutely evil. There is no equal justice under the law any more. The government turns a blind eye to their pet projects.
