In the long run this is going to be a disaster, I’m all for solar but it should have been done very different. Why use land where wildlife live and you have to cut all the trees down, if they keep taking trees down there won’t be any more, then what they gonna do, be sitting back looking ugly. Theirs so many different species of wildlife that lives on these properties, it’s sad how no one speaks up for wildlife, we are their voice and something has to be done, why not use all these roof tops that aren’t doing anything but catching sun and rain. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Common sense, wake up people. If you knew better you would do better, now let that sink in. Don’t nobody want to hear the truth.

In response to Randon …. Your mention of the “100 acres of beautiful forest” made my blood boil. Are you now going to try to tell me what I can and can’t do with my own private property? Property that I have been paying taxes on for the past 15 – 20 years while I waited to harvest my crop? When you talk about THEY STRIPPED.PILED and BURNED … you are talking about the local land owners that have sacrificed and waited years to collect. How many packages in cardboard boxes have YOU had delivered to your home? No longer using toilet paper? FemCare products? Not interested in printing anything out on your printer? There are products that you have NO IDEA are available to YOU because I waited so long …. And one more thing, those cardboard boxes could have been returned to paper manufactures, they can recycle those boxes back into new boxes..

Only thing I can think of is “how much is my power bill going up.” Seems everything this new buyout does increases our power bill within 2-3 months. Let me think, mulch, wild flowers.. probably be a $3 increase by April.

Beautiful forest. Really. That areas dirt is so poor the pines took forever to grow. And bring in something innovative then the usually land destroying oil spilling Fox News morons are concerned about the trees and wildlife. Don’t worry there just trying to get a little head start for when we do use up all the fossil fuels your great grandkids won’t have to go back to candles and horses Now fire back at me

there is always good and bad when something new is tried. if it keeps rates lower i guess it is good. i don’t like cutting down trees even is it a pine.

What a nice story to hear that a little mulch is being made to fertilize wildflowers around this solar energy farm. How much wildlife was displaced and many hundred acres of forest or potential farmland were destroyed? We have slept through the establishment of these solar farms quietly like good sheep being lead by rings in our noses. The fact is that all of these “renewable energy” assets (solar, wind, battery) are produced using non renewable resources. How much plastic and poly resins, steel, glass and concrete are used to produce these energy forms or what energy does it take to produce these? I’ll bet you’ve never thought of the amount of rare earth metals that are required to be mined for solar panels alone? Vast areas of our earth are being strip mined up to 2000% more just for this. And not in the USA with Union labor or worker protections either. We bought into the KoolAid and will surely pay for it. Remind yourselves of this as you drive by or fly over these gross eyesores we have in Florida. How nice they will have some wildflowers growing there. Let’s wake up and get off this train!

Solar should be on rooftops like the gentleman said.

Everyone is going to need solar energy, businesses and government entities included, not just at the homeowner level. This is a great enterprise, and I’m glad to hear of the mulch creation as well. Awesome!
