I'm not much of a tree-hugger. If the redwoods were just a few years old, I would understand. If they were thousands of years old, it would be a shame, as there's little sane justification for cutting down any old-growth forests.

Why not just move the solar panel??? Electricity does travel over these fantastic inventions known as "copper wires."

And if the solar panels were for the heating of water, there are ways to handle that issue, too.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.

I am human. Fully human.
