This. Utility solar in Maine in 2020-whatever is a lot like the crown's wood lots in Scotland in 1520-whatever. The locals lives aren't made any better by it and some people down south who hate them make bank.

Say what you want about resource extraction, it necessarily leeched far more wealth into local economies.

I personally think it's short sighted but I see why they're not a fan.
