I'd love to see the math behing how much power cpuld be generated from the 400 acres of wood, and how long will it take for the solars to break even.

Also, how much co2 is saved by the solars in comparison to what the trees would generate.

Back of napkin math...

Panels per acre - Realistic setup: 1,500 panels, 20x20 ft

Power output - 0 25 MW per acre with 2022 technology 400 acres x 0.25 = 100 MW

CO2 absorbing - approx 3 tons/yr per acre 400 acres x 3 = 1,200 tons/yr

1 acre of forest burnt releases approx 7,200 tons of CO2 (normal climate, tree and undergrowth density)

400 acre x 7,200 = 2.88 million tons CO2 released.
