As their article covers the impacts on local environment, I strongly agree with the title of their article.

This is a common struggle for organizations/companies that attempt to build such systems, as some of these structures get built in semi-popular areas that have visual appeal, or even property that decreases in value. A majority of these systems that fall under this category are RAS or CAS, both being bigger building
