Edit: I thought of editing the title, as well as mentionning that I didn’t like the tone of this article in the sense that it presents it ok to clear out forest for solar panels, and personally I believe it’s criminal, or something. I just thought it had some important info. And thank you Tobberone for your comment!

Anything I suppose, this is why I'm asking.

I could be no, don't cut the trees, or no, don't talk bad about solar energy expansion, or... you name it! No?

What point does solar energy have if one has to live without forests for it? I would rather have entire human society collapse than lose the nature to keep supporting the infinite growth of the cancer.
