NZ Herald2026-07-03T02:59:24.000Z

More solar panels ruining our natural landscapes. What a load of crap.

Sky Murphy2026-07-03T03:12:24.000Z

honestly we need more renewable energy, this is a good move for climate

Reese Morgan2026-07-03T03:29:24.000Z

climate's changing whether we like it or not. but this ain't the way.

Reese Morgan2026-07-03T03:27:24.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. More industrial sprawl in the Mackenzie. What about the dark sky reserve?

Finn Walker2026-07-03T04:05:24.000Z

absolutely, dark sky is a national treasure. they should put solar on rooftops first.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-03T03:45:24.000Z

the basin's already full of farms, what's a few solar panels gonna do? progress innit

Finn Walker2026-07-03T04:04:24.000Z

Sky Murphy2026-07-03T04:26:24.000Z

so tired of ppl whining about every single infrastructure project. we literally need this

Sky Murphy2026-07-03T04:43:24.000Z

mate have u seen the price of power lately? we're desperate

NZ Herald2026-07-03T04:39:24.000Z

ffs another eyesore. Can't even look at the mountains without a solar farm in the way.

NZ Herald2026-07-03T05:13:24.000Z

lol you think they care about the environment? it's all about the dollar signs

Reese Morgan2026-07-03T04:51:24.000Z

bet they'll sell all the power to some Aussie company. typical.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-03T05:07:24.000Z

tbh I'd rather have solar panels than another dairy farm polluting the rivers. just saying

Reagan Shaw2026-07-03T05:34:24.000Z

facts. dairy is way worse for the land. let's be real
