Seen this video online? The bullshit keeps getting spread. They’re spraying a high-tech maintenance nutrient solution that even includes grass seeds and this is a common practice in China. Even The Telegraph ran with the same rubbish, which says a lot about their credibility. 🖕

🇨🇳☀️ The Truth About China’s Wumeng Mountain Solar Farms: Not the Lies Which Are Going Viral A video is spreading claiming “countless habitats were bulldozed for 40,000 acres of solar panels in Wumeng Mountain, China.” It’s dramatic… but it’s also completely wrong. If you want to learn something, read on... Here’s what’s actually happening 👇 1. Where is Wumeng Mountain? The Wumeng range stretches across Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan, one of China’s historically poorest, most degraded regions. Think: • Barren slopes • Karst terrain (thin rocky soil, hard for plants to grow) • Severe soil erosion • Thin, non-arable land • Over-mined, over-farmed areas It is NOT rainforest. It is NOT an untouched wildlife paradise. It has been one of China’s most ecologically fragile regions for decades. 2. What China built there? China is installing large-scale mountain solar farms on land that: • Can’t grow crops • Can’t support dense forest (for reforestation) • Has low ecological value • Was already stripped or degraded The projects follow the terrain. Nothing is “flattened.” No forests bulldozed. And many sites are dual-use agrivoltaic farms, goats and sheep graze under the panels and native vegetation returns because the land is no longer being over-farmed. 3. “Destroyed habitats”? Not even close Every major renewables project in China requires an Environmental Impact Assessment and since 2020, solar/wind cannot be built in: ❌ Protected forests ❌ National parks ❌ Primary ecosystems ❌ Wildlife reserves The chosen sites were already degraded hillside scrubland. Studies from Guizhou & Yunnan show: • Soil erosion drops sharply under solar arrays • Moisture increases • Native plants recover • Insects return and birds return Solar farms here are actually restoring the land, the opposite of the fear-mongering claims. 4. Environmental outcome: massively positive A 40,000-acre mountain solar farm delivers 6–8 GW of power. That’s enough to replace: 🔥 6 coal plants 🔥 30–40 million tonnes of CO₂ per year It uses zero water, releases zero pollution and allows vegetation to regrow. Meanwhile, Guizhou/Yunnan’s old coal basins produced decades of pollution and ecological damage. This is what cleaning up looks like. 5. Why the viral video is misleading? ⚠️ The narrative relies on: • A dramatic aerial shot • Zero local context • Ignoring land-type and terrain • Pretending this was untouched wilderness • Ignoring China’s laws protecting high-value ecosystems • Ignoring rural poverty alleviation • Ignoring the CO₂ reductions • Ignoring that mountain solar is built on non-arable, pre-degraded land If this exact project was built in Europe, it would be hailed as “green innovation.” But because it’s China, the West suddenly cries “environmental disaster.” The hypocrisy is insane. Absolutely INSANE! 6. What the Wumeng solar project actually represents ✔ Restoring degraded land ✔ Ending small coal mines ✔ Stabilising mountain soils ✔ Providing clean energy ✔ Raising local rural income ✔ Helping communities escape poverty ✔ Lowering global emissions (massively) ✔ Proving China’s renewables leadership, again China builds more solar each year than the entire rest of the world combined. This is what that looks like at ground level. Here is the truth: - There is no “eco-wasteland.” - No mass habitat destruction. - Just Western social media doing what it always does, misrepresenting China to score political points. The Wumeng solar rollout is one of the most successful examples of turning damaged land into clean energy and it is lifting entire regions out of poverty while cutting emissions on a global scale. China is the world’s largest reforestation nation, adding over 70 million hectares of new forests since the 1990s, more than any other country on Earth. From the Three-North Shelterbelt to the Grain-for-Green program, China is repairing past damage at a scale no Western nation has even attempted. Stop spreading lies about “destroyed habitats” when China is literally leading the world in restoring them. The real story is far more impressive than the propaganda being pushed online.
