For a pull quote you can use: “The solar company that would destroy my vista calls itself “Walden Renewables,” probably to conjure bucolic images a la Henry David Thoreau. However, row after parallel row of 15-foot-high, black solar solar panels is anything but bucolic."

Solar energy is disturbing the peace here on Christian Hill in Lovell, Maine. Residents are angry because they didn’t know anything about a huge, multi-million-dollar, 171 acre, solar-panel project that will be visible from our hill. What really ticks them off is that by the time they found out about it it was already too late to do anything.

For clarification: Acentech is an acoustal consulting company which "implements cutting-edge systems technology" to "quiet a noisy project." Acentech asserts that, "solar energy facilities can be designed to be inaudible."

The Maine Mall in Portland is listed as 90 Acres.This will be twice the size as that. Does lovell need a beautiful wooded area clear cut to put thousands of solar panels 2x the size as The Maine Mall filled with solar panels, poles, wires and transformers. Think 2x the size of the Maine Mall
