The hill in the photo looks ugly, tbh. Still, much better (and livelier) than the landscape after oilsands or brown coal extraction.

Preferably, most grid-connected solar panels would be on buildings, deserts, and postindustrial land. But in the face of the climate catastrophe, the South China hills are also fine.

I don't think it looks ugly at all...

I was just thinking about how much of a nightmare it would be to keep them all clean.

I mean - one thing ugly, and the other thing is that this land could be arable or a nature reserve.

The same is true of oil fields but they won’t even let you see pictures of that.
