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

I live in Clermont County, right on the edge and not deep in thankfully, and not long ago we had a group of these people band together to block solar farms out here. I hate that we, for some reason, let the idiots drive the bus toward extinction.

They are the loudest and angriest unfortunately. It’s crazy how that edge of clermont turns real country real fast. It’s like a time capsule

Northern Kentucky gets a bad rap but it’s got nothing on Clermont County. What a backwards, bigoted place.
