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.

Back of napkin math...

Panels per acre - Realistic setup: 1,500 panels, 20x20 ft

Power output - 0 25 MW per acre with 2022 technology 400 acres x 0.25 = 100 MW

CO2 absorbing - approx 3 tons/yr per acre 400 acres x 3 = 1,200 tons/yr

1 acre of forest burnt releases approx 7,200 tons of CO2 (normal climate, tree and undergrowth density)

400 acre x 7,200 = 2.88 million tons CO2 released.
