Backlash against wind and solar projects is real, it’s global and it’s growing

NIMBY hits renewables.

They'll love the Nuke plant they get instead? Or a new NG fired generating station?

Everybody wants MOAR JUICE to power their Teslas, but nobody wants it in their backyard. Why can't we have our cake and eat it too? Where's the Free Lunch?

I will admit though, dropping solar panels over prime farmland seems a little counterproductive. You can't eat electricity.

Unsurprisingly, this report comes from Faux Newz, and I'm sure plenty of the obstacles come from the oil industry lobby, but nevertheless I think natives who don't want the projects dropped on reservations have a fair point. Why should they be forced to take these windfarms on their landwhen the rich white folks won't take them on theirs?

Just one more nail in te coffin of maintaining a high energy consumption lifestyle. You have to generate the power somewhere, somehow.
