This confirms all of my stereotypes about Hugo:
“I don’t want to not allow solar farms, but you don’t want to ruin a neighborhood’s character,” City Council Member David Strub said in an interview. “We’re all trying to be good neighbors.”
They also don’t like public transit because of reasons that boil down to not liking minorities. That’s probably why Bob Kroll lives there, who was the president of the Minneapolis police union during the George Floyd protests.
Idgaf about “eyesores,” but I am very supportive of efforts to make sure that solar farms are designed in ecologically responsible ways. Far too many effectively raze the underlying ecosystem in order to maximize coverage, when slightly less efficient land usage can allow the same species to flourish after construction.
Despite all’ the horrid crap hunams leave lying around, somehow solar gardens get any complaints at all? Seems a bit odd to me… 🤷
Necessary clean energy. Asked and answered.
I’m sure they also complain about roads, parking lots, gas stations, drive thrus, and highway onramps. Not.
