Comments on: Construction Begins On McDavid Solar Farm; Second Nearby Solar Site Still In The Works http://www.northescambia.com/2021/02/construction-begins-on-mcdavid-solar-farm-second-solar-site-still-in-the-works Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 20:28:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Johnny http://www.northescambia.com/2021/02/construction-begins-on-mcdavid-solar-farm-second-solar-site-still-in-the-works/comment-page-1#comment-444289 Johnny Mon, 01 Mar 2021 05:03:25 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=433236#comment-444289 Trees grew on the Antarctic continent the last time the CO2 levels were as high as they are today. Wind and solar may make us feel we are "doing something" to mitigate the issue. Unfortunately, it is probably to late. Even if by some miracle all CO2 emissions worldwide were to completely stop it would still all be for naught. We are all aboard this train and we have no choice but to ride it out. So love the solar farm or hate it. What is going to matter most is how deep a hole you can dig to eventually hide in.

Things have a way of working themselves out; give it time. In 10,000 years, there will be no trace of this solar farm and the issues and circumstances associated with it.

"This isn’t conspiracy, it’s facts" Nah. It's conspiracy theory/paranoia. Not the idea -- that's been kicked around for decades. The claim that it is happening and/or committed to be done is nutso hogwash. But even if it were on the approved list, the idea was to reduce the energy reaching the surface by a fraction of the total. What would have been one kilowatt per square meter might drop to 0.995 kilowatt per square meter. Crops would still grow. People could still see. Solar farms would still turn sunlight into electrical power. The sky wouldn't fall and isn't falling. David for less panic REGARDING:

Nah. It’s conspiracy theory/paranoia. Not the idea — that’s been kicked around for decades. The claim that it is happening and/or committed to be done is nutso hogwash.

Crops would still grow. People could still see. Solar farms would still turn sunlight into electrical power.
The sky wouldn’t fall and isn’t falling.

What they are doing to productive land that used to grow crops is borderline criminal. It will be impossible to decommission this project and return the land to it's former state. They are pounding thousand upon thousands of I beams 12 feet deep, hailing in thousands of loads of gravel, breaker run, and boulders to eliminate water runoff. They're mixing cement with the soil to make a semi solid base for roads. God awful looking. I live in Wisconsin where a 350 MW solar project is being built.

Just parroting the stuff they heard their favorite alt-right politician and/or pundit say. Conservatives will always be the ultimate sheeple.

The best commercial solar has batteries and hopefully Next Era will add batteries in Bogia. They have a good many batteries at sites around Florida. Don't complain about your Gulf Power/Florida Power bill...it is lower than an EREC bill. Solar is now hands down the cheapest generation to build and produce. With the addition of batteries, it is becoming more practical. This should help keep your power bills low and increase my Next Era stock dividends. For those concerned about wildlife, they love solar farms. I have deer, turkey and all manner of critters who don't seem the least bit concerned about my panels. Many producers plant wildflowers to encourage the pollinator population, too. As for appearance, I attended the hearings and there will be a line of trees blocking the view, which is unusual. I have seen a good many solar farms visible from the road, but I suspect you will have to look hard to catch a glimpse of this one. The best solar is solar with battery at your own house.

If GP and other large corporations don't see a huge need or profit from them, then they would not build them. Maybe down the line they will have some sort of Agrivoltaic incorporated into it but right of the bat they could make it a sheep farm or place bee hives there. What a win win, Electricity. Clothes and Food... I'm all for it that! One of the fastest growing industries. If GP and other large corporations don’t see a huge need or profit from them, then they would not build them.
