Japan is Getting With The Times and has thus clear cut a bunch of mountain forest for solar panels
(hexbear.net)
I'm assuming this is somewhat counterproductive but I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to solar so someone who knows more than me can tell me if I'm being dumb.
Also notice the golf course right next to it, very good for the environment.
happening everywhere around me. luckily it's just monocultue abandoned tree farms they are cutting so no real ecological loss (the soil is so polluted from former iron mining anyways)
if a collapse comes at least i can go and grab myself a nice fresh panel
40% of Japan's forest cover is monoculture.
Solar panels need to be replaced every couple decades
