Letter to the Editor: Don’t cut trees to install solar panels by Greer Pomeroy

November 23, 2022 by l

 
“Don’t cut trees to install solar panels

It is crazy to cut forests to place solar panels!
This letter is inspired by Chad Arnold’s article (“Town weighs moratorium on solar farms”) in the Nov. 13 Daily Gazette and is a prelude to my letter to Governor Hochul.
Trees capture carbon dioxide, cool and moisturize air, prevent runoff flooding, soothe humans and support wildlife. Trees are precious.
It makes perfect sense to place solar panels in former cow pastures, as seen on the north side of Route 20 in Guilderland and in other clear areas.
In some U.S. states, and other countries, there are solar panels and small livestock or crops on the same land.
