No because when the sun is at its brightest is when the least amount of power is being used. So the panels store the power for later. Also the panels arn't to power the entire house. They power a percentage of the house, it is to reduce the dependance on power stations. And there is still enough light on a cloudy day to power solar pannels as the clouds don't filter the UV rays.

That has nothing to do with "balance" it's just sound business practices.
But they can't replace the rainforest (biodevercity) so they are whiping out entire animal populations. Also most of the logging is not for the timber itself, a lot of it is to create farm land.

Animals (and people) have been pooping as long as there have been animals, and their poop has been washed into the sea as long as there has been rain.
Fertilizer, is largely animal poop (see previous point).
The fertilizer that is the issue is the artifisal. And its the run off from farms. This is not natural. You cannot denie that dead zones are of human creation and that they are a massive problem.
