Yes I am a NIMBY when it comes to best use of space and our tax dollars!
Ya know after the last four years of watching land forclosures of friends and seeing kids not furthering there education trapped in a small town and those that can leave, leave.... The last thing that will be on my land is WIND OR SOLAR!
why? It would take four pages so I'll sum up my basic now throttled back feeling!
YOU BASTARDS have the audacity to ask landowners to consider Solar and Wind! You have done nothing but insult us, take our land, challenge our pride, take from our childrens plate, push our youth out of this state, force us to sell our land,have if foreclosed upon! Now you want our land to be clear cut for solar?
For 50 Acre subsidized farms with back to back side to side plastic? UN FIGGIN BELIEVABLE!
I will be the first and thousands of landowners will follow just for friggin spite. We will not forget!
You have no idea what a fight is ! You have taught us well!
