Why are they upset?

Government can't force them to do any of those things with their own land, and they have no right to complain about what other people chose to do with their own property. Windfarms and solar panels don't produce any pollution that would interfere with their neighbors rights. They are not like hog farms or commercial factories.

Of course you are a middle-of-the-road capitalist, we believe you. No, really, we believe you.

What could I tell you about your state? They don't force farmers to convert to green energy and farmers should not care what other people do with their property?

So can you answer my question about why they are upset. Seems like they are squealing about politics instead of the actual FREEDOM they have to do whatever they want with their own property.

You should not just blindly believe what I tell you. Go do the research for yourself. Then you will see that what I am saying is true.

What is your point?

Don't you agree that Fred was 100% correct if he ever actually said that?

But not this farmer. Reading between the lines, it seems like he's receptive to the idea of having wind or solar installed on some of his land, and resents the idea that certain people are putting obstacles in his way:

Has curiosity ever led you to consider looking at climate blogs which do not agree with your fantasies ?

A blog is a blob of "opinion".

Why it matters

As the threat of climate change prompts a society-wide push to ditch fossil fuels, Michigan government and utilities have committed to decarbonizing the state’s energy grid by midcentury.



How can you be so dishonest ?

Since the beginning of Earth, climate change happened.

Prompts a society-wide push to ditch fossil fuels ?

Typical of the right. The strongly support your right to be free to agree 100% with them. That is what "freedom" means to them.

The support denying people the right to do what they want with their own property.

You don't get it.

Everyone agrees that climate change has happened in the past. But pretty much everyone agrees that human activity that has caused a massive increase in CO2 in the atmosphere is making things much worse.

It is possible for BOTH of those things to be true. Climate change has happened in the past but human activity is making it worse.
