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.

Have you seen what just mining coal does too a landscape? I don't think so.

The only reason for that is that coal isn't new and thus not reported on in the news.
