The fact that the "debate" continues is disheartening. We will reap what we sow, as the old saying goes. On an even sadder note, a solar farm was recently denied a permit near my town for .....wait for it....... Noise pollution. Yeah, you read that right.
Those things use sun to boil water and steam power a turbine, a loud ass turbine. Not in my backyard, dude.
There is a loud-ass turbine at coal plants, oil plants, gas plants, and nuclear plants, as well. We can have clear power with some noise or filthy power with some noise.
All of it. And for that we can do other things like eradicate diseases that kill millions every year.
