Counties are blocking wind and solar across the US::Local governments across the U.S. are blocking new clean energy plants. See the best locations for wind and solar power, and where it’s being stopped.

The inability to install solar panels on my home is enshrined in my HOA and is extremely unlikely to be overturned by our members. We should be passing laws making these types of restrictions illegal
There’s a story on Reddit about someone who snuck an extension cable onto the HOA president’s property and had it running something like an air conditioner full blast nonstop for months. They later said something to the effect of “oh yes, prices are going up but my friend who lives in the other city has solar and he’s fine”. This apparently convinced the person to change the bylaws.
Arson seems easier
what- the HOA folks are worried they’d see your PV panels instead of a shingled roof for the .4 seconds they see it at all while they’re parking in thier driveways?
Parking in the driveway is also banned in many HOAs.
tell me you’re exaggerating? sounds like fucking hell on earth to me.
HOA should be requiring solar instead of banning it.
Wait… Aren’t you guys supposed to be the free-est nation on earth or something?
We’re a country founded by slave owners who wrote things like “all men are created equal”
HOAs were literally created to make sure that black people couldn’t buy homes. These covenants put legal blocks on the deed for eternity to keep it from happening. It didn’t take long for white people to buy a house and then turn around and sell it to a black family. The entire thing crashed. What we are left with are small Karens and Chads trying to control the people around them.

America, home of the not free to do what you like with your own house.
Would that be Republican controlled counties?
I’m not sure if it wasn’t clear, but THE PLANET IS DYING.
The planet itself will survive this easily, the inhabitants on the other hand…

Can’t the boomers are still around and they still remember when Jane Fonda was easy on the eyes. Plus you know you got the granola gluten free spiritual not religious types now who are convinced they can generate electricity from unicorn farts.
All the money from her exercise videos went to left wing activism, fun fact for the day
Don’t believe it. Also was that before or after she shot at US soldiers?
I don’t think she shot at anyone, she was photographed sitting on an air defense gun in North Vietnam if that’s what you mean.
And it’s true about the video profits, it’s all a matter of public record you can look it up if you’re so inclined.
Doubt
Read up on the Campaign for Economic Democracy it’s a really interesting bit of history. She’s been involved in activism her whole life - anti war, feminism, climate protection and economic justice causes, actually a really cool person (if you like left wing causes)
Nah the planet will be just fine. Humans (and other living things) though will truly be fucked.
Some living things will make it through the extinction event and the next sentient species will fuck it all up again in a billion years or so.
As it was foretold
This has all happened before and it will all happen again.
So Say We All
The Simpsons already did this bit.
We need more coal mines the children yearn for the mines
Maybe some of these things (at least rooftop solar, but maybe not wind turbines) ought to be guaranteed by right on a Federal basis, kind of like how the FTC prevents local governments from stopping people from putting up antennas.
From the article it looks to be only “utility-scale” projects that are blocked, I assume that doesn’t include roof solar.
I haven’t heard of local ordinances myself, but I have heard of HOAs fighting them.
Is there anything a HOA won’t fight?
We are really fucking bad at this
