This is a very frivolous argument against solar farms given the amount of noise and other pollution emanating from regular farms.

Farm-scale irrigation is not silent.

Crop Dusters are not silent.

Combines and other tractors are not silent.

Burning fields are both not silent and release a tremendous amount of sooty smoke that spreads far beyond the boundaries of a farm.

Farms make a lot of noise.



Crop dusters do not run 24/7, nor do the combines or other tractors.


Are solar panel inverter fans running at night?


Really? I had no idea! Thanks for clearing that up.
