Fuck O&G.
Fuck them hard - we really need to take off the fucking kids gloves as we're already clearly feeling the pain of more extreme climate.
Why would they be concerned? Like what is bad about using the land for that instead of growing corn? How would it hurt anyone? That's how you know it's bullshit. The article doesn't even say and I'm assuming it's because the original campaign didn't really say either lol
How would it hurt anyone?
I don't know about the situation there, but in some places in Spain, there are agricultural workers who are upset about the conversion of plant farms to solar farms, because the solar farms require less labor, so they're unhappy about job losses. From what I've read, it's been something of a political hot topic there.
Here in Ohio a lot of criticism is that they think it’s ugly.
Well, I mean, it's not like the field is there to provide ornamentation to people driving down the road, and it's not like the people complaining own the field. The person could build whatever they wanted there. A row of pink barns, I dunno. That's not specific to solar farms. Maybe there's someone who doesn't like the aesthetic of a field of soy or something.
I don't personally find solar farms particularly beautiful or ugly.
Not solar, but I'll concede a point to the people who don't like wind turbines on ridgelines, because then when the sun sets behind them, they create enormous flashing shadows as they rotate that are really hard to ignore if you're in the path of the shadow. Most of the time they don't do it, of course, but when they do, it's a pain.
