    It’s just so weird to get so upset about solar that you have tshirts and signs made to protest. Even if I don’t agree with it, I can at least understand the angle most protestors are coming from. But this? What’s to get so mad about solar?

      It doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here, but I’ve seen wooded areas clear cut for large scale solar farms before. That’s completely missing the point of green energy IMO and I can see why some would oppose it.

        Here in Massachusetts they’ve installed panels in all sorts of otherwise unusable space, including:

        • capped garbage dumps & transfer stations
        • Along the sides of highways
        • inside highway clover leafs
