Michigan to Clear 420 Acres of Trees in State Forest for Solar Farm

Elizabeth Weibel 3 Jan 2025

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is planning to clear 420 acres of trees in a state forest in order to build a solar farm, according to a recent report.

A “top state official” confirmed the Michigan DNR’s plans to clear the acres of state forest for a solar farm to MLive.com.

The acres being cleared from the state forest are reportedly among the “4,000 acres of public land” throughout Michigan that will be leased in order to address decreased “revenues from hunting and fishing licenses,” as well as Michigan falling “behind building enough renewable energy.”

    Leasing 4,000 acres of public land statewide is partof the DNR’s plan to help remedy both problems in coming years. Officials said that state solar initiative may begin just west of Gaylord.

DNR officials also reportedly “recently assessed 1,200 acres of public trust land in Otsego County near a major power transmission line to decide whether it was suitable for solar arrays,” according to the outlet.

The Daily Wire reported that Chris Martz, a meteorology student, had “published a chart showing nuclear power produces far more power on less land than solar and wind.”

Where were the Tree Huggers?

They took all the trees put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar an' a half just to see 'em

INSANITY: Michigan is clearing over 400 acres of a forest to create rows of Chinese-made solar panels that just occasionally generate electricity. And it’s not even going to help the environment. A recent study found “the loss of carbon-dioxide gobbling forests for solar installations results in a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions.”

As a tree-hugger this breaks my heart and makes me viscerally angry. Let me guess...they're also going to pay China to process the trees into lumber and then sell it at a loss to some global conglomerate like Blackrock who will charge 150x the value when they sell it to consumers. Meanwhile, a hefty donation will be made to political coffers. Stop ripping our ecosystem out by the roots and suffocating the planet with man-made crap.

This will likely in a decade become the best landfill site in the state.
