I’m a huge proponent of solar in general, but I’m not a fan of floating solar. Aquasystems…the ecosystems of of lakes, ponds and even the ocean, are far too fragile. Robbing the lakes of that much surface area, creating artificial shade below it, could have catastrophic effects on the plant and fish below that depend on the sun for their existence.<\/p>\n
