They do in some places, its just not news, just like when patty next door puts panels on his/her roof.. .
The best places for solar panels are roofs for parking lots, over capped trash / dumps where no building can take place, on the sides / medians of some highways where there is space for never to be used for anything else. However, chopping down trees for a solar farm is not the correct answer.
