Redwood growers told to let the sun shine

[Question Liberal Authority]

But the Sun is the major source of Global Warming.

[stevio]

When liberal worlds collide.

All that house and no land.
Amazing what people will put up with.

Another enviro-wacko with more money than brains. It looks to me from that picture like he has fixed panels facing east and west and south. Atrociously inefficient both electrically and economically. Only a liberal with way too much money would blame somebody else to try to compensate for his obvious engineering gaffe. Of course maybe it’s just a question of it being All About Me.

On Google Satellite photos, part of the solar-panel-owner’s roof shades another part of his roof where he does NOT have panels. Should some of his own roof come off?

Instead he puts a bunch of panels next to the property line and expects the neighbors to cut their trees. Much of his roof not affected by the trees doesn’t even have panels. This guy should re-arrange his panels before going after neighbors.

Or the neighbors should buy a spotted owl as a pet...

Popcorn?

“But it’s actually better for the environment to put solar on your roof than to plant a tree,” said Newick

Actually it would be better to bull doze down both of the houses in Santa Clara and move the residents to — let’s say a funny farm.

[fish hawk]

I suggest a brace of pistols and about ten paces in opposite directions. Let’s hope they are both crack shots.(not pun intended)

[deks]

Perhaps planting eight Redwood trees along the fence about ten feet from the neighbors house is not a good idea. They grow to 100+ feet.

[3niner]

Environmentalists fighting environmentalists. Break out the popcorn!

[peggybac]

Geesh, can the houses be any closer to each other?

[MediaMole]

OK, Cut them down, but aim for the neighbor’s house.

[jmcenanly]

Geesh, can the houses be any closer to each other?

They're packed in like urban brownstones.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

It seems like the guy could offer to put a solar panel on the neighbor’s roof and let them rebate him the remaining $60 per year that he’s paying, and let them benefit from the panel themselves. If he’s down to $60 a year, he’s in the realm of diminishing returns anyway. He’d make friends instead of enemies and everyone would get to enjoy the beautiful trees.

That said, the law’s the law.

[Schwaeky]

In that case, the guy with the panels should invest in a shotgun, a chainsaw, and rent a flatbed to haul the logs from the trees off.

[SmithL]

Where are the Berkeley Tree-Sitters, now?

[SierraWasp]

"the law’s the law"

Well, actually, since GovernMental EnvironMentalists have been writing our laws for the past 40 years, the law has become a complete A$$!!!

Or the neighbors should buy a spotted owl as a pet...

Beer -> Nose -> Keyboard

[cough] Good one!

[Does so]

Neighbor "A" (a friend of mine in Coral Gables, FL) had a 50' Norfolk Pine tree on his property that blocked the Miami/Biscayne Bay "sweeping water-view" of neighbor "B" (an airline pilot).

One night, a crash was heard. :-(
