fantawurstwasser‘It was our little idyll – until the solar farm landed’: the battle raging in the heart of the British countryside
SpaceNoodleOh yeah, all that terrible noise and pollution from solar. The sunbeams screaming and shitting each time they smack into a panel.
The noise is from the substation (it says so in the article).
I guess part of the article got lost amongst all the ads.
Anyway, a solar substation wouldn’t be significantly different from one from any other power source, so that argument is just additional bullshit.
Like everyone else on Lemmy I recommend an ad blocker!
Anyway, I’m sure that having read the article now you noticed that the couple in question are worried about the noise because they have an autistic daughter and moved there to get away from noise, which she’s especially sensitive to.
I’m not sure how it’s relevant that a substation from any other source wouldn’t be worse is relevant? If the panels weren’t behind their house then the substation wouldn’t be there either.
Honestly, seems like they could have spent less on sound insulation, but maybe it’s cheap to move in the UK.
Can you sound insulate a garden?
Again, I think if you read the article you’ll understand their issues a lot better.
