Re: Sloppy
"Things like coal stack chimneys are especially expensive to demolish and cart off. I didn't see anything."
Not to mention the cost of cleaning the land, especially the land under the coal stockpiles. I would imagine the US solution would be to fence off the land, place signs stating the land is contamintaed, and then build the solar farm diectly on it.
There does seem to be a constants stream of pollution and contamination scandals coming from various places in the US over many decades with supposedly respectable companys allowing or not checking for runoff into farming land or the water table.
