      I was thinking much the same, nothing new & VW are twunts for their emissions scandal. Clearly trying to greenwash.

        Not to mention the massive layoffs coming. They could definitely use some good PR right now.

    “We can clearly see that the flock feels safe – the sheep naturally split into smaller groups and graze calmly in different parts of the solar farm. This is the best evidence that they have adapted well to these conditions, because a flock that feels threatened always stays together,” [the flock owner] said.

    It’s nice to hear about the animal welfare aside from them being cooler. It makes sense that prey animals are more comfortable not being as exposed.
