When solar power comes at a cost to nature areas

We all know that S'pore is making a great foray into solar power in recent years due to the increased efficiency of the technology as well as the falling costs...our tropical climate also makes it suitable and our towering hdb flats are convenient spots to mount the solar panels.....
Plans have also been made to spread the solar panels on floating platforms on the expansive surface of our huge reservoirs. Besides this being a maximization of limited land space in Singapore, the floating solar panels also have the added advantage of preventing water loss from the reservoirs through evaporation.
But this article makes a valid point on how our enjoyment of our already-limited natural surroundings may be compromised if solar panels are allowed to invade them. Currently, reservoirs have doubled up as recreational spots for Singaporeans... Think kayaking, fishing(?), dragon-boating, boat-paddling, etc. But these activities may be affected once soalr panels are placed on the water surface.
The panels will also be a blight on the surroundings, as they will transform the look and feel of Mother Nature. Can u imagine the numerous panels giving off glaring light from the sun? This is quite unlike the natural and beautiful scene of the glittering water surface as sunlight bounces off the water....

So is solar power the way to go for Singapore?
