If someone tries to tell you that solar farms are loud, please know that they are lying to you. I have no fucking clue where this myth from, but I’ve seen it a couple of times. Hell, some people brought it up as a concern when one was being installed in my own neighborhood.

Well, the farm went in on the plot next to my house, so I can assure you myself that this is a lie. Here’s a video:

The only things you can hear are the birds and the wind rustling the leaves, the solar farm isn’t even audible at all.

I mean, obviously our main concern when it comes to energy sources shouldn’t be noise anyways, but at the very least we should be aware of the blatant lies being spread to discourage clean energy in favor of more profit to the fucking fossil fuel industry.

I think it must come from the fact that wind turbines can be loud, though it’s still such a mindbogglingly ridiculous claim that I’m almost impressed?
