This isnt an aquatic installation.

I completely agree.

Nice ad-hominem.

Re-read what I wrote. I'm well aware of the reasons for this project but I am sad that it is happening.

The economics don't work for putting solar panels over parking lots. They also don't work for putting them in ponds and lakes.

Regardless of my stance on this project it isn't a water installation. I strongly suspect that will not change because I expressed my fefes on Reddit. Linking to how solar could be installed on water is in no way relevant to this particular installation.

Unless I see a modified plan from someone officially associated with the project this isn't relevant.

It also does nothing to address my concerns of destroying rural land to turn it into solar farms instead of converting unproductive urban and suburban strip malls and parking lots to a more productive use.

Cool paper bro. Not sure how it's relevant.

As someone local to Old Gilsum Road I'm going personally feel the impact of loosing those woods. The whole region benefits from the amount of contiguous woodlands around the ridge. It's a shame that I won't be able to take my kids through those woods.

I appreciate the benefits of solar but every time I see the woods of my youth getting clear cut it leaves an ill taste in my mouth.

Big projects like this are easy for people in Boston to fund. They aren't loosing anything. Installing solar over a parking lot is far more complicated and more expensive. I can see why they would want to avoid that when undeveloped land is cheaper out this way.

The great thing about solar is that it can be put anywhere there's sun. I wish that would more often result in something other than rural land getting cleared in the name of environmentalism or progress.
