SARGE

I have lived near two solar projects in Ohio in the last decade.

In both instances the fields had been completely unused for years. With one being completely unmaintained and growing wild, to the delight of all manner of critters I’m sure.

Both had been sold by the property owners, and not to industrial owners. One was even helping power my house and a local hospital when they got it turned on.

Both had people in pickup trucks plow through during construction that damaged a ton of stuff.

Both had sudden extremely vocal opposition out of nowhere, with signs popping up all over yards and intersections about how we should be using farmland “for food, not wokeness”

Both have had drive-by shootings in the middle of the night after completion that ultimately only damaged a couple things (probably because rednecks aren’t exactly accurate when shooting from a moving vehicle, nor do they usually know the important tech bits to target for maximum damage)

I just think it’s interesting that people who have never set foot on a farm suddenly got concerned about a plot of land already not being used for farming that would continue going unfarmed. Especially since some of them I knew personally and up to a point had been praising the solar projects for “freeing people from profit hungry power companies”

Almost like they didn’t know much about it until someone told them what to think…

Damn, I already bought it!

… 13 years ago…

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There’s a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can’t be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don’t have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words…

The OG most wanted is hands down my favorite of all time.

I dropped $40 just to play on my Xbox around 10 years ago.

I’d buy it again if I didn’t already have it installed.
