Ye landlubbers from England to the Osage Nation, be tellin' these alt-energy scallywags to take their projects and shove 'em where the sun doth not shine! Arrr, they be wantin' none o' yer fancy contraptions in their peaceful waters!
In ports near and far, the winds of change are blowing against big solar and wind projects, matey. From the rolling hills of England to the lands of the Osage Nation, communities are telling alt-energy developers to take a long walk off a short plank. Arr, as me studies show, there be at least 639 rejections or restrictions of wind or solar projects in the U.S. since 2015.Why be the people protesting, ye ask? 'Tis simple - they be wanting to keep their neighborhoods shipshape. No one wants their land filled with an ocean of solar panels or towering 600-foot-high wind turbines. 'Tis a concern for the property values and the racket these projects bring, savvy?While the scallywags in the media be pushin' the "clean energy" narrative, communities be standin' firm against these projects. The stakes be high, with billions in tax credits on the line for the bigwigs behind these ventures. Lobbyists be tryin' to strip local communities of their say in the matter, but the resistance be strong.From the shores of France to the hills of Canada, the tide be turnin' against wind and solar. Even in England, the rejection of solar projects be mounting faster than a ship in a storm. The people be speaking out, and no amount of fancy talk can change their minds. 'Tis a battle for the seas of energy, and the people be drawing a line in the sand.
