New York State solar farm corruption

[Duds13]

Like what? What is wrong with putting solar on reservoirs?

• “Contrary to previous assumptions, pollutants such as lead or carcinogenic cadmium can be almost completely washed out of the fragments of solar modules over a period of several months, for example by rainwater.”

Can you tell me who made that statement?

So you basically did what I thought just ignored an article about wildlife being displaced by a solar farm because it didn't apply to my first post. There are other examples of live bald eagle nests inside the perimeter of proposed solar farms that are being ignored by state agencies. The same ones who promote conservation (DEC). Guess that doesn't matter though, again.....just birds...

No i did not ignore it. But it also wasn't about a solar farm being placed in those grasslands. It just said if they were it would do this. And if they are taking grasslands I dont agree with it. But most I see are farmland or old industrial land. I did some more looking into the proposed ft Edward solar plan because the article you copied had little info. Yes there was a proposed solar installation that would have taken some grassland. But they have since changed plans. Moved the proposed site off that area and agreed to give money to preserve the grasslands. So are you ok with it now?

Why dont you tell us. And tell us what panels actually use lead and cadmium
