Really Sickens Me

So I see A5 wants to restrict the right of landowners to choose to put renewable energy installations on their own land.

How does this fit into his libertarian deregulated utopia? He seems confused about his libertarian ideology. LOL

He can't seem to move on from previous issues. He seems stuck in the past. Oh yeah Conservatives don't like change.

some scullduggery at land auctions "investment" companies buy land then on sell to solar companies, htey make quick profit done deals before hand.

irks farmers that were runner up bidders

No doubt but how you going to stop land going to the highest bidder without more restrictions and regulations?

ive got zero issues with putting it on bad land unarable land.

biofuel crops are still manage and farmed.

solar farms just become waste land basically.

solar farms here to stay just put them in "better" spots

But landowners have every right to do what they want with their land unless you think you want to take that right away?...

The hypocrisy by some posters is blatant one sided crap.

Yes, for example Farmers should have the right to grow whatever crops they want, and market them through whatever channels they want. The hypocrisy of that statement coming from a CWB die hard is off the charts.
Even more hypocritical, coming from a guy who supports the current federal governments who are attempting to enforce restrictions on fertilizer use and land use.

At least you got the last sentence correct. Recognizing the hypocrisy and one-sided crap you are spewing.

Mine are ground mount fixed angle and cleaning the snow off is usually about a 15 minute job unless it is a heavy wet snow.

I dont remember the wire guage but it is heavy with 3 conductors. Less than 150m. Increase the distance with larger wire.

Ground mount works fine and I have grass around mine.

They take up a small part of our yard and can easily be placed where they are out of the way.

But there are several roof mounts installations around as well.

Adjustable ground mounts would be good cause you could adjust them to the optimal angle throughout the seasons and have less snow issues in the winter. But they cost more.

Large scale ground mount solar systems should not be placed on good quality arable land if there are other choices available. But landowners have every right to do what they want with their land unless you think you want to take that right away?

The oil industry and mining also use good quality arable land. That and the fact that biofuels use millions of acres of good quality land and you are complaining just about solar and wind installations! Take the blinders off.

The hypocrisy by some posters is blatant one sided crap.

Roof mounts here are a big job to keep snow free.
Ground mount the only practical option.
Rural only?

How do you get the power from the panels to the meter if it is say 400yrds Chuck?
Overhead or underground?
110volt wire?
