So much for private property...
Finally, a case and a decision which highlights one of the fundamental abusurd consequences of our system of private property and property rights. We all live on the earth and take resources necessary for our survival from it. There are too many already on the planet so population will be reduced one way or another going forward in time. Killing trees so that personal electric power can be generated and consumed is insane. The investments we are capable of making in solar infrastructure should be communal investments in a public power resource system which serves everyone. If this means requiring public utilities to buy back all excess power from every solar instalation constructed within a local grid, DO IT! But... don't install solar panels in places where trees can reasonably be expected to shade them. There aren't enough trees as it is... Redwood is an "endangered species" and should be protected by federal statues, although the bozo's in Washington have not recognized plants as species yet.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
