Lol, who knew? Solar parks turning into the new love hotels for our feathered friends. Think about it tho…clean energy and extra birdies? Pretty damn lit if u ask me. Let’s green it up guys, earth’s got no respawn. 🌍🕊️🔋💚

Why do we construct solar parks on potentially arable land when there’s loads of square km of concrete that could be used?
Every parking lot should have a solar roof…

I’m sorry, but that headline is bullshit. _Some_ bird species are thriving in _some_ solar parks. There are parks that are ecologically worthless (especially some older ones) and there are bird species that shun solar parks (e.g skylark).
The industry just pumps out very questionable studies since a couple of years.
For the record, I’m generally for renewable energy but what grinds my gears is that they act as if solar parks are sooo great for biodiversity while absolutely ignoring that this is only true for intensive crop farming areas and not for extensively managed grassland. And guess where most new solar parks are planned! Ofc farmers don’t rent out their most valuable arable land but rather ecologically great but financially awful land.
The issue is that we don’t manage to enforce the construction of new solar parks on buildings, parking lots etc, so the rate of newly built solar parks in the nature (or rather “nature”, when talking about Germany) is increasing while the rate of newly installed capacities in urban areas is decreasing (except for those balcony things)
