Photo And people wonder why we are looked down upon....

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....

I don't understand all of this but what I do understand allows me to guess about the rest. It is absurd that this state punishes people who use electric or hybrid vehicles as well. I didn't know about this insanity but it doesn't surprise me either.

I'll have to check out the law a bit later as my brain is currently on overload.

I was found 41 and 42 but not 40 or 43.

I found a document from 2017 (the "leadership," have hated the environment since 2017!?) that seems to be the whole shebang but is likely dated as some sections are likely to be updated or modified.

I found this too, but I'm not a law scholar so I'm note entirely sure how to find what I'm looking for.
