Solar farm on West Peak fits sustainability goals

I would like to second the motion made by Dart Cherk in his letter published June 15. Cherk’s idea to place a solar farm at the former military base on West Peak of Mount Tamalpais is brilliant.

I think the plan to restore the graded asphalt-covered site is a waste of time and energy (“Storm cleanup on Mount Tam’s West Peak offers silver lining,” June 6). The carbon footprint alone, as well as the cost removing all of the concrete and asphalt, is prohibitive.
