Now to the fishing, one of the videos I saw claims this was good for fish growth and let's be realistic these solar panel will not cover an entire lake or ocean, so fishing will not be eliminated.
I purchased an EV on Monday and I'm fully aware there will be some benefits and some sacrifices, like almost anything these days. We just have to figure what we consider more important and can we except the cost.
“can we accept the cost”

To me anything is possible in your premise but most of us not likeminded would ask....is it necessary

To line the landscape, woodlands and waterways with these unsightly panels and turbines as you suggest...it’s like we’re going back to the 50’s/60’s and 70’s with antennas hanging off of houses and tenements. I’m fine with some sort of balance but nobody wants to be forced fed theories and subsequent practices....that are still wildly open to different interpretations and outcomes. I’m the furthest from being a tree hugger....but when I’m on a hike in Mt Washington Valley of NH.....I want to see natural resources, not panels and turbines
