TL;DR Summary
Environmentalists in Amherst, Massachusetts are divided over where to locate solar projects. Some worry about farmland and forests being lost to solar projects, while others worry that overly restrictive solar rules would limit the town's ability to fight climate change. Similar disagreements are happening across the US, with some opposing solar projects on environmental and conservation grounds. While conservationists often want rooftop solar, energy experts say that larger solar projects on the ground will be necessary to meet climate goals, and rooftop solar often costs more.
