LETTER: Aldersyde site should be home to more than solar panels

Supports stick out of a field waiting for solar panels at the TC Energy solar power project off Highway 2A north of High River on Feb. 2, 2023.

Dear Editor, 

In regard to the Saddlebrook Solar and Storage Project in Aldersyde, I think this is a large waste of land for just solar panels. 

If they raised them another six feet, it would allow access for livestock to graze or to plant crops under the panels. Now they will be continually wasting money controlling the grass and weeds. 

No thought was put into the project beyond installing solar panels.
