<p>I Personally Have seen FIRST-HAND what these "SOLAR PANEL FARMS " Have done in Washington State ,Oregon and Idaho ! They LITERALLY DESTROY the Land Surfaces in dozens of locations over thousands of acres !! When they Leave there NOTHING but a Literally DESSERT/DUST-BOWL left behind ! And Because ALL The Top Soil is Removed NOTHING WILL EVER GROW on the LAND -EVER AGAIN !! IF THE PEOPLE of The State Maine Do NOT want their State Turned into a DESSERT?DUST-BOWL they had better Act Now …</p>

<p>Given that coal and oil are both plant based, I suppose we could extrapolate solar energy into those as well. All of life comes from the sun. I have all of Bernd Heinrich's books, and shared his ravens for 28 years when living in the western mountains of Maine. He spoke eloquently at the Dixfield public meeting; "You don't build a whore house in a church." That about sums up the desecration of our mountains by the wind industry.</p>

<p>"Biofuels are the indirect use of solar energy packaged into plants by the best solar-panel technology that has ever been invented, and it is far easier to grow green power than to build nuclear plants, dam our waterways and put windmills on our scenic mountaintops. Yet our current plans to shift to green energy — centered on so-called carbon offsets and cap-and-trade systems — are in some applications sorely misguided".......</p>

<p>Keep our shrinking open spaces open. Protect the environment. Plant trees, not wind or solar "farms". Harvesting taxpayer funded subsidies should not be regarded as an "agricultural" industry.</p>

<p>The problem with planting seedlings is that the nurseries growing the seedlings don't have gigantic amounts of taxpayer money and other artificial government interventions to buy off legislators, environmental groups and the media.</p>
