Okay, but put the panels on rooftops, not over that nice greenery.

It's not "over" greenery. Land is entirely cleared of vegetation before panels are installed, including the occasional forest. Thousands of larger birds are killed by wind farms. Offshore wind farms are creating deserts for fish. Understandably, many prefer the good old days before the planet was being saved.

Why would they prefer the older methods that do more land damage and kill even more animals?
