    For anyone interested, Michigan has well over 21 million acres of forest.

      But how much free land does it have? It is not that much Forrest to cut down but why bother? The sun will generate the same power to miles to the west and this is surely not the only location they can use.

          No it isn’t. Forrest is a much more diverse ecosystem than grassland.

          And from a purely economical point: you’d need to clear the forest and engineer something to make the ground suitable for the construction of the solar park. It doesn’t make sense if there is an area without a Forrest.

            Mama always said I’d get cut down one day.

            It also doesn’t make sense since the trees capture carbon. This is a dumb dumb move.

            It has become obvious that you have no concept of what the Great Lakes Region looks like.
