How much will we hurt the environment and our air quality to make way for alternative energy?
An example……It would take 10,000 acres of solar panels to provide enough energy for disney world, which is 300 acres.
Millions of acres of forest land must be destroyed to make way for both wind and solar energy. Air quality is improved through the use of trees, shrubs, and turf. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Rain then washes the pollutants to the ground. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form carbohydrates that are used in the plant’s structure and function. In this process, leaves also absorb other air pollutants—such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide—and give off oxygen.
In our war on “man made” global warming and our desire to become less dependent on foreign oil, doesn’t this seem to be contradictory?
How many acres of desert is there in the USA?
Doesn’t look like many trees here…..

In a sense yes. There are some ways to help overcome this though. Why not build solar plants or place windmills on top of buildings? Skyscrapers have acres of window, replace a few of them with solar panels… true it won’t be the most efficient use of them, but every little bit would help. A prominent Democrat halted the building of a windfarm off the coast because it would “spoil the view” we need to get away from the NIMBY mindset and focus on real solutions.
