So you'd be okay if they opened a solar farm next door to your house? How about a refinery or sewer treatment plant?
What exactly do you think a solar farm is? Because it isn't even in the same stratosphere as a refinery or sewer treatment plant. It's not an actual agricultural farm, you know? No noxious sounds or smells.

I don’t see a problem with it if the landowner wants to allow it… and it’s better than a chem plant or refinery next to an elementary school

Considering the price of residential lots of < 1 acre, the land owner could make a killing.

It’s a good use of the land.
What? How many acres to generate a small percentage of the power a natural gas turbine could produce on 2 acres and have near 100% reliability? Laughably ignorant.

It’ll take a dedicated crew 6 months to a year for project completion. That’s a lot of money flowing through the BR area, which Louisiana is honestly not in a position to be choosy about.
A small crew and after completion will result in one or two permanent jobs paying a middling wage. Versus a peaking turbine that produces several higher paying jobs. You are utterly clueless, which is typical of people like you.

Yes but he’s very passionate ( and a bit pissy) about his ignorance on this subject.

Your “how abouts” aren’t relevant, we can make up any random thing ppl might have issues with but in this case it’s a solar farm and it’s private property so tough shite that’s how this works

This is not how this works at all. There have been several cases of neighboring landowners suing to prevent these farms from being built because they negatively impact the value of their own property. They’ve won.

Well it shouldn’t
At least in cases like this where the land in question is out in a more rural area vs the middle of the city with all kinds of pre existing zoning laws, etc.

No dog in this fight but I have a friend who is a PM in the industry (3-5k acre projects) who said their company’s solar farms in Texas outperformed all other types of electricity production during the freeze and exceeded their own expectations. They did stop working for a couple hours but bounced back without issue. However, the utility’s transmission lines were still down so the energy was lost as it had nowhere to go.

It can't be worse than wind turbines, which went from about 20% of the total power generated to nearly zero during the freeze.
