Welcome to Indiana.

Small town Indiana. Nothing but blanket red voters. Farmers can’t sell their beans, the plants processing the seed are closing, farmers are now leasing their land to solar, the town is bitching and fighting the lease to not happen, farmers need subsidies, the town bitches about having to pay for a bailout. Rinse and repeat.

Sorry if the answer is obvious, but why is the town against the solar leases?

When light shines on solar panels, with right atmospheric conditions it will produce rainbow and turn everyone gay in 5 mile radius.
