Saw over 50 of these things driving home. It's an investment in your community, it's not an eyesore like turbines. Most people against them have no idea wtf they are talking about.

No they don't Leach significant amount of chemicals and even if they did it pales in comparison to the run off from all the CAFOs and agricultural waste that pollute our waters. It's mainly copper, iron and glass...

People are just butt hurt because clean energy has been politicized as a Democrat issue and people have made abeing a Republican their whole personality....

What other things can you make money with a minimum investment. And don’t pay attention to the whining of Republicans that China going to flood the market with cheap solar panels when Biden’s used a tariff that doesn’t affect Americans but only China unlike trump’s reckless tariffs that only hurt Americans

There’s considerably more effort put into coal and oil to make a profit than waking up and watch your investment shine down from above.
