The recent letter decrying solar farms made about as much sense as a warning that first responders dousing a burning building might drown someone. Carbon in the atmosphere from fossil fuels has already precipitated a global climate crisis. Significant areas of the Earth are virtually uninhabitable. Ecosystems are crippled. Unprecedented rainfalls and floods are common.
Fortunately, an exponentially increasing amount of solar energy is being produced around the world, and possibly it will mitigate or even end the carbon-caused crisis. Vastly decreasing the burning of fossil fuels or completely ending it will be disruptive, but much less so than perpetual weather and ecological disasters.
