re: What do you people have against solar farms?

I’ve got a couple years left hunting on my place in South Texas before it gets bulldozed and turned into a solar farm. We bought the 135 acres next door and will probably move the shop and house to the new property.
We say no a couple times a year because we don’t like the spots they’re picking and would have to drive by it to get in and out or give up too much pasture. But eventually they’re going to make an offer we can’t refuse and can put it somewhere we don’t care about. I give it a couple more years tops. Maybe sooner with all the domestic content juices projects coming.

Why not?
Solar farms will use up all of the sun’s energy and the sun will go cold

They will be taking the whole 400 acres and we won’t have access. They wanted ours for better access and to put the solar panels on.
We told them no for years but once it got up to $900 to $1000 an acre with a 3% annual increase it was hard to pass up. We bought the 135 acres for a small place but may look at leasing 1000 acres or buying something 600 acres to 1000 acres in the next 10 years once we save enough money

That’s a solid deal. I know they’ll end up making it work for us because we have both local substations on our property. So they’re kinda stuck with us. And we have a good relationship with NextEra who operates the wind farm and subs.

Generate it where you use it, urban rooftops and parking lots.

This make so little sense I don’t even know where to start with it. I’m not sure you understand how any of this works.
Google economic cost and it shouldn’t take too long to figure out, you seem like a smart guy.

We will be tearing down solar farms because we need more land to grow food. Build your precious solar farms, just not on arable land.

I don't really have anything against them per se. I just think one of the big selling points of solar is that you can pretty easily retrofit existing structures and put panels on your roof so they don't take up as much room.
Solar farms take up a ton of room, and you lose the benefit of independence from being on a power grid.

I think some people see such installations as another step down the road to renewables, the real goal of which, at least for some, is the elimination of fossil fuels.

Because of this..
Bringing urban sprawl to the countryside, kudos city people.

The climate change idiots want to make solar a primary source for the grid, and it’s not up to that.
If you want solar as a supplement to what we have, good. As a replacement it’s a horrible idea that will kill people.

If you are against a landowner determining how their land is used you are a commie.

How come they ain't pushing to cover parking lots with these instead of farmland?
Two reasons:
1. Where would they park?
2. Parking lots are way too small, unless it is an old abandoned mall.

So instead of destroying land and forests for solar farms, why don't they just start putting them on every building?
You know, because we only have a few years left until climate armageddon and it would be the right thing to do.
I even have a good idea how to fund it, divert money from Ukraine.

I thought this was America. Since when do rural land owners not get to decide what goes on their property?

When it can have a direct effect on locals

yeah that parent company started a riot in Bolivia because the water became too expensive.
And the company itself was fined for air pollution in Arizona.

Water became one fifth of the average person's expenses and protests erupted. Protests were met with cold shoulder response by Bechtel expressing they would simply cut-off water to those who did not pay.
These companies are anti human

What effect does a solar farm have?
