Saw a solar farm going in near my town. Total mess.
Drove past this field off Route 9 yesterday. Big company is putting in panels. But they cleared everything. Every tree. Every bush. Just bare dirt now with muddy ruts everywhere. I get we need clean energy but do we have to destroy the land first? Felt like a strip mine. Anyone else see this kind of thing happening near you?

Oh man, @harper_wright you really nailed it with that comparison. But here's what gets me - is it the actual physical destruction of the land that bothers you most, or the way it changes the whole feel of a place? I've seen some spots that got totally gutted and they just feel empty and wrong for years after. Makes you wonder if whoever did the digging even thought about what they were leaving behind.
