Solar Farms

Nothing residents around these areas can do. The sales and leases were all done legally from company to persons/owners. My main concerns are the dangers and health risks, such as electromagnetic hypersensitivity, exposure to electromagnetic radiation fields, and increase in cancer risks. Those are biggies.

@lilacskies We are not being forced to do anything. We won't have solar. Nobody in this community will have it or get it from this solar farm. They or this company produces the energy and sells it to electric companies. The one that I have seen mentioned by them does not serve our area at all. I am not happy about having to look at these things all the time. I will be passing them on several roads. They have acquired a lot of land for this project, and may get more.

@kareng This is so unfair. You are being forced to do something you had no say in at all. Wow, I didn't think about those. You are right. Those are the big concerns. This is alarming. What can be done? Are you going to put up with this despite the dangers and health risks or are you thinking about moving now? Is that even a possibility for you since you and your husband are settled down? This is so unfortunate. I'm sorry about your situation. These companies shouldn't be allowed to force residents to take up solar if they don't want to.

All of the power the farm produces will be sold to an electric company or companies. Nothing for residents or our local electric company. My main concerns are the dangers and health risks, such as electromagnetic hypersensitivity, exposure to electromagnetic radiation fields, and increase in cancer risks. Those are biggies.

@youless It is a proven fact that they do. They won't be falling on anyone. They will all be on private land or leased land. If anyone goes on the land, they will be trespassing and can go to jail for that.

@kareng I think for these power won't lead to cancer risks. But if they are on fire due to accidents, then it will be an issue. Or if there is a storm and the destory will lead to dangers as the falling parts can hurt people.

My main concerns are the dangers and health risks, such as electromagnetic hypersensitivity, exposure to electromagnetic radiation fields, and increase in cancer risks. Those are biggies. Plus the destruction of the forests, that is just sad.

I've heard horror stories about when they are done with them, they will leave all the stuff there to deteriorate. Also, about things leaking into the ground that can contaminate ground water and anyone that has a well and uses well water. So that would be bad. I'm just going to be spending some time on reading up on it all. Apparently we will just have to live with it. I'm disappointed that so many leased and sold to them to have all the trees and forest disrupted and the wildlife that will now be driven off. So much for the countryside here. My main concerns are the dangers and health risks, such as electromagnetic hypersensitivity, exposure to electromagnetic radiation fields, and increase in cancer risks. Those are biggies.

You don't have thousands of them though.

@kareng No. My state does have quite a few wind farms, though.

That is what I would prefer. But it's going to be 50' away from property lines. Thank God it is not right next to us, or not at present time. I think the people that bought the property behind us and it winds around our other end of property want to keep it intact. They do hunting and also built a new home way in the back in the middle of the woods. Now the farm will butt up to their property on the other side of our field. Not sure about in the back. I need to get a copy of that map.
