“My concern is the hail damage that came through and busted these panels – we now have some highly toxic chemicals that could be potentially leaking into our water tables,” Needville resident Nick Kaminski told Fox affiliate KRIV-TV.
To be honest, such a solar array in fields is a crime. I don’t know that the suitability of the land for agriculture is but at least it could be habitat for wildlife. A meadow for butterflies, a ground for rodents, a hunting ground for canines, and felines, and birds of prey. Big ass beasts can eat grass and shit on the bugs.
You know, solar panels could be built on roofs in the cities. If there was a good scheme where I could sell the electricity generated on my roof into the grid. A scheme in which I would watch money rolling into my account. I would get those panels, and I would even get batteries to supply the grid at night. But alas there is no such shit in Czechia.
Installing solar panels makes no fucking sense in this part of the world. We get no sunlight and the days in winter are short. Only nuclear reactors are the answer if you don’t want to burn coal. I don’t see anything wrong with burning coal if the process is controlled. The powers that be want us to stop burning wood. If they really plan to do it, they would have to enforce it, and I am telling you, they will not come out of here alive. We will burn them in the stove with the wood. 🪵

I remember when some professor, forgot his name, went and proposed project to EU comission for lumber use. After all wood is renewable. Literally using carbon dioxide for growth.
He made good nice calculation for commercial forests, proposed that for 100 cut you plant 110, so be a net positive long term, literally went out of his way and put which trees should planted where on all freaking map of Europe, and then got shut down by the “greens” yelling wood isn’t renewable lol.
And Germans who pretty much stopped the project, then took Ukrainian part of his project, and bought bunch of land there and went with it. Hm.
I forgot which ratio it was, but there’s actually class of wood, some can be used for individualy housing heating, come could supplement the coal plants, and ofc sawmills for construction, plus elite wood for furniture. Every forrest have each. Nowadays we actually use lots of high quality wood for freaking sawmills, or even heating.
And it would take around 2-5 years for project to be profitable, and around 20 to fully repays itself, then you just keep collecting profit, but well.

Up to 10,000 hectares of Ukrainian forests have already been replanted this year, with the Ukrainian government now working with German experts to develop a new three-year plan for its besieged forest industry.
I was curious, so I googled, also plenty of wood as renewable? texts popping up lately.
But honestly the whole story about that dude’s project is so modern day EU. Like it’s not just some Power point slide that some yas queen will soon make and present in Brussels. The guy’s literally life work, in few volumes, and motherfuckers just put it to pick up dust, because of some NGO activist came and talked shit.
And yeah I bet you a 5 euros they’re using his work in Ukraine.

I don’t burn wood that often in my fire place but I have been able to stock wood from trees in my garden. Sometimes you have to remove trees because they make a mess or you want to build something, and you will have ample wood to burn. You will plant other. I live surrounded by forests so sourcing wood is not a problem.
