Son Bonet at a Crossroads: City Forest or Solar Park?

Answer

Why are residents in Son Bonet opposing the solar park plan?

Many residents worry that a large solar array would change the character of the area and reduce the value of the green space for daily use and recreation. They also question the impact on the local microclimate, traffic from access and maintenance routes, and the loss of natural soil. For them, the issue is not solar energy itself, but where it should be placed in Mallorca.
