As soon as rural folk are given free choice, they inevitably ban industrial wind and solar from their territories.
Local governments, finally listening to their constituents, are acting out the universal hostility the pointless power. The weather and/or sunshine-dependent stuff – that can’t deliver power on demand – but that guarantees economic misery, environmental destruction and community disruption.
Robert Bryce documents the most recent rejections in a growing trend across the USA, where County Commissions in Ohio in Kansas made it plain once again: America’s farmland is meant for productive farming enterprises, not part-time power generators.
Robert includes his interview with former Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, which is well worth watching.
Tally Of Wind/Solar Rejections Hits 601; Tony Abbott On The Podcast

Last week, the Mahoning County Commission, by a vote of 3-0, approved a resolution that bans big solar projects and large “economically significant wind farms” in unincorporated areas of Green Township, Ohio. According to a November 10 story by Ed Runyan, a reporter for The Vindicator, public input on the measure was “overwhelmingly” in support of the bans, and “over 800 signatures” of people favoring the ban were presented to the commissioners before the vote.
Four days after the vote in Ohio, county commissioners in Harvey County, Kansas, voted unanimously to ban commercial wind and utility-scale solar projects in their county. The votes in Ohio and Kansas bring the total number of restrictions or rejections of wind and solar in the U.S. to 601.
These rejections, which are cataloged in the Renewable Rejection Database, provide undeniable proof that all across rural America, landowners and policymakers are taking action to protect their neighborhoods from the landscape-destroying, viewshed-ruining, bird- and bat-killing sprawl that comes with Big Wind and Big Solar projects. Of course, you will not read about these rejections in the New York Times or on National Public Radio.
The backlash, which is happening from Maine to Hawaii, doesn’t fit the narrative being peddled by academics at elite universities and climate activists who are hawking 100% renewable energy schemes. Nor does it fit the agenda of the big banks, big corporations, and big law firms that stand to make staggering sums of money from federal tax credits if more wind and solar projects get built.
Tony Abbott, the former prime minister of Australia, on the Power Hungry Podcast
About two weeks ago, while at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tony Abbott. It was a fascinating discussion that covered a wide range of topics. Abbott lamented the “political cannibalism” in the U.S. and the disappointment in “governments throughout the Anglosphere.” Please give it a listen.
STOP THESE THINGS 
“For the People…”
hear, hear Tony Abbott, Bravo.
Energy such as heat，light，electricity，can neither be created nor destroyed. The sun becomes older day by day, because of loss of energy. There is no any renewable energy in the world.
