Fields of solar panels really are ugly. Personally, they do not give me any warm fuzzy feelings.

If people want to put solar panels on their roofs or over their parking lots it doesn't bother me so long as lower income people don't end up subsidizing this.

Sometime there are good reasons to oppose large solar projects. Anti-woke and woo are not among them.
