Repeal VCEA
 

Please stop the clear cutting Virginia's forests for solar farms and development.

Repeal VCEA and protect our rural landscapes. A better more gradual solution should be considered to transition our energy sources. Solar farms actually create more problems. The existing trees are working hard to reduce the carbon footprint.  The less impact

on our environment should be the first parameter to which energy source is "friendly."

These solar farms destroy the very thing we are trying to save.
