A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

For anyone interested, Michigan has well over 21 million acres of forest.

But how much free land does it have? It is not that much Forrest to cut down but why bother? The sun will generate the same power to miles to the west and this is surely not the only location they can use.

No it isn't. Forrest is a much more diverse ecosystem than grassland.

And from a purely economical point: you'd need to clear the forest and engineer something to make the ground suitable for the construction of the solar park. It doesn't make sense if there is an area without a Forrest.

It has become obvious that you have no concept of what the Great Lakes Region looks like.

Still doesn't make it environmentally friendly
