Don’t swap trees for solar power at City College
What a disgusting way to start the day, May 3, with The Bee front-page story on City College campuses trading trees for electricity.
“The trees have to go.” Do they really? It’s hard to put a price on the shade, air cleansing, bird habit (insect eaters) and beauty that trees provide.
Have there been any thoughts on how these solar panels will not become an easy pick for thieves?
Of course, a better place for solar is out of the way on roof tops, but the profit margin is probably less and further away. Another demerit for Fresno as a great place to live.
