Solar at a Glance
Opponents to solar, much like opponents to any kind of development or policy, may occasionally stretch the facts or outright fabricate misinformation regarding solar development. The goal of anti-solar groups is to sow division in communities to create a politically hostile situation for township trustees, county commissioners, and other decision-makers by being the loudest voice in the room. Political fear is a very effective tactic that we seek to combat by being clear about the facts, giving a voice to the silent majority that recognize the benefits of solar, and politely engaging and supporting local decision-makers.
Like you, we have plenty of questions about solar and are working hard to understand how this gets done the right way for our community.
We did a lot of research to form our understanding of solar and its benefits. To make it easier on you, we collected some of the most useful web resources here.
