"we don't want solar panels on farmland" is just a conservative talking point. It's not actually a problem, but it's something that resonates with their boomer voter base.

Not just boomers or conservatives. I'm generally pretty liberal but when I see land developed for solar, and they're using weedkiller in there and it used to be a farm or a forest, it just feels wrong somehow.

Like this has to be early days and it will get better, right
