Michigan to clear 420 acres of trees for a solar farm in Michigan in State Forest 🙄

[Auld Phart]

From Jroc,

"Today fundamentalist Christians appear to stand for moral values more so than the Jews -- particularly ironic when we consider that Christianity's moral underpinnings come directly right from us. Yet tragically, less traditional branches of Judaism often have higher visibility and better PR. It is thus all the more imperative that we show the world just what we stand for." Rabbi Dovid Rosenfeld

God's laws were given to all Israel. The Jews kept them while the other tribes lost them, until the New Testament was revealed to their descendants through the ministry of Jesus Christ and the apostles. It is Christianity that raised the Law to the higher moral level that God intended.

I apologize.

That's a huge area. A square mile contains 640 acres.

How many square smiles is Michigan? 97,990 square miles. That means the acreage of this solar farm is 6 x 10^-4 percent of the land area of the state. I think they can spare it!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

They are going to cut down a forest of life-giving, oxygen providing, CO2-recycling/absorbing trees to "save the planet" with green energy?

And just what happens to all of the carbon in those 420 acres of trees they cut down? Burn it? Make lumber out of it?

This borders somewhere between the fantastically hilarious, the fantastically sad and the incredibly stupid.

An acre is about the size of a football field so 420 acres is equal to about 1.7 million square meters.

Michigan needs that solar power for the EVs that won't charge in the winter, because of the cold, especially when the solar panels are covered in snow.

For what ? Waste of money and solar panels aren't green energy , they're probably Chinese made, they're "usefulness" is over what do you do with them? You can't put them in a landfill So what's the point?... Pander to the global warming nut jobs... I'll pass

They do produce electricity you know. It's their money to waste. How do you know they are Chinese-made? When they don't work anymore you leave them where they are, and the forest will reclaim it. It is so small, why does it matter?

Much ado about nothing.

Well we pay for that stuff through our utility bills.. you should put one on your house if you love them so much... We should be upgrading our electrical infrastructure not wasting money on b******* like this

Don't live in Michigan or don't vote for Democrats. It won't affect my bills at all as I have power bought from TVA.

I'm pretty sure Tennessee valley authority is hydropower, the leftist are trying to get rid of that as well . they're tearing down perfectly functional dams. I've never voted Democrat in my life that should obvious

They'll have to change Paul Bunyan's name to "Paul Sun Yan."

If that 420 is successful another will follow, then another, rinse and repeat.

Nothing says 'save the planet' quite like cutting down trees. OTOH, there's money to be made.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Well, you would be wrong as my power comes from a TVA plant just up the Cumberland River. They do have hydropower, but not all is hydroelectric. The dams they are tearing down are NOT hydroelectric dams.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If that 420 is successful another will follow, then another, rinse and repeat.

If it is successful, isn't that a good thing? I doubt it will be successful and will kill efforts to expand these solar facilities elsewhere.

I can't speak to you're specifics situation over there in Tennessee I'm saying generally.,.. here you going to learn something..

 

[Mac-7]

Clearing hundreds of trees for what ?

I thought that in lib la la land trees were sacred and prized even above humans?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

God's laws were given to all Israel. The Jews kept them while the other tribes lost them, until the New Testament was revealed to their descendants through the ministry of Jesus Christ and the apostles

Except "we" rejected the sign that we are God's people--the Sabbath

Thank the Roman cult for that

 

[Carl in Michigan]

How much power do they expect to generate from it? Solar is preferable to wind

That was the old libs, the new lips don't like carbon dioxide either

How many dams have been removed?
