Some worry wind and solar will gobble up forests and farms
The Tobacco Valley Solar Farm in Simsbury is currently the largest in Connecticut.
Massachusetts has installed solar panels faster than almost any other state as it seeks to reduce its carbon emissions. But some activists say the state’s transition to renewable energy has come at a cost.
“We have big multinational solar companies coming and cutting down forests,” said Jane Winn, executive director of the Berkshire Environmental Action Team, a nonprofit in the state. “They’re not doing a good job of it, so they’re allowing erosion into wetlands. We’re trying to connect our forests so wildlife can move, and they’re in there fragmenting it.”

Here’s hoping it doesn’t enter the conversation again.
“For an Olympic athlete, a boycott is an absolute tragedy,’’ track great Edwin Moses said. “We only get that one shot every four years.’’
Moses hasn’t run in an Olympics since 1988, though he’s got a unique insight into boycotts. When he was dominating the 400-meter hurdles for the better part of two decades he seemed to run into one every time he set his sights on the Olympics.
The boycott in 1988 in Seoul was so small he struggled to remember the nations involved. The one in Moscow eight years earlier was so big that it almost surely cost him a gold medal.
