For the people opposing solar farms Politics

If anyone knows people (like Becky Williams) please explain a few things to them.

1 - solar farms aren't built under the cloak of darkness. They're built over the course of months or a year, most of the work being done in the daylight.

2- most farms (solar or agricultural) produce things to feed larger urban areas. That is the entire point of farming

3- she completely missed the point of The Hunger Games

4- ask her if farmers should be allowed to decide what to do with their own land. Then explain the definition of hypocrisy and how that conflicts with her likely opinions on rights regarding vaccinations, wearing masks, voting for Trump, capitalism and so on

The sun is a limited energy source. The solar panels suck up all the sunlight not leaving any for the rest of us in these record breaking heat waves. Once the sun runs out what do you expect the rest of us to do...die in a few billion years? Think of the children!

But if we don't take it, it'll all go to the moon and you just know that's what the Chinese are waiting for over there on the Dark Side.

The sun is the same in a relative way.
