3. I oppose solar farms on previously undeveloped land.

I'm indifferent to it on lands that have already been trashed by parking lots, big box stores, sprawling suburbs, etc..

Parking lot solar is becoming very common in our city. It's nice to park in the shade of huge solar panels on a hot sunny day and return to a car that's not an oven.

Sadly solar will only prolong our dependence on natural gas and it seems the gas industry knows it. They are happy to promote solar and wind power as greenwash for themselves.

Ms. Truss's motivations are probably a lot less sophisticated than that. This is a call out to her friends in the fracking industry and those who seek a revival of the coal industry. It's also a big "fuck you" to the left wing.
