Don't get it, grew up in the burgh area, and sunny days are few and far between.

Wasn't a solar farm in the sunny Calfornia desert declared a failure.

Pennsylvania has plenty coal and gas.

They should be THANKFUL that they didn’t get a Battery Farm as they tend to be a bit ‘lively’ at times.

Not a photovoltaic "solar farm" in CA, but a central tower with mirrors (called "heliostats") reflecting sun onto a boiler in the tower. The boiler makes steam that drives a steam turbine. Totally different tech.

I pity people that get this green crap sited next to them. Wind farms are all over the west. You may have had a family ranch for 150 years and then these hideous monstrosities move in.

11,000 solar panels on a 27-acre plot is still a hideous eyesore. You see these all over the west, too, and in the most unlikely places.

Murdering fetuses, killing birds, poisoning farm land, fostering power outages, and discouraging food production are all part and parcel of that “progress” they keep talking about.

These solar panel farms are heating the planet in an unnatural fashion... Just like these huge wind farms are screwing with the natural weather patterns... These green forms of energy are likely hurting the planet more than they are saving it.

Again, too many people are incredibly STUPID. No common sense. No critical thinking skills. Incapable of rational thought.

There are ZERO examples of solar farms that live up to their forecast output. Even worse, are wind farms that usually produce 1/2 to 1/2 of their forecasted output.

That is why so many lie idle.

Pennsylvania is rich in natural gas. But Democrats have used the regulatory burdens to drive up prices, forcing PA residents to see a nearly 50% increase in electricity costs.
