Opposition to solar farms is increasing in the U.S. due to various issues associated with them (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).  Earlier this week residents of a rural Kansas county voiced their opinions loud and clear at a commission's "meet and greet" meeting with a prospective developer.

HOLTON, Kan. (WIBW) – The country's largest wind and solar operator is looking to Jackson County for a possible project, but residents at the county's commission meeting this afternoon said they are not interested.

"Why on Earth would you choose here in Kansas, USA. About a third of the days are sunny."

"How do you know technology isn't going to make this thing obsolete in 10?"

"I'm supposed to have property rights in Kansas, and a Florida company is going to take that away from me?"

A crowd of concerned residents attended the Jackson County Commission's meet and greet Tuesday afternoon with energy operator NextEra Energy. NextEra hopes to gauge interest are in the possible construction of a new solar farm in the area. They're looking for about 2,000 acres of land between 110th and 158th west of E Road.
