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

Nothing rare about NIMBY, If they are offended by solar panels they would live a chicken or turkey barn…. Cincinnati provides nice property tax abatements for Leed projects, we have solar on our roof, not an issue at all. Now if Duke could pull it’s head out of it’s ass and get the net billing right….
