Are faked public comments about to tank an Ohio solar farm (www.canarymedia.com)

Dozens of public comments opposing the $98 million Crossroads Solar project appear to be fabricated. Ohio’s siting board may block the project anyway.

Remember when they blocked net neutrality with fake comments and the FCC under Ajit Pai just went 🤷‍♂️”doesn’t look like anything suspicious to me!”

People here straight up hate renewable energy. They vote against wind turbines and solar whenever it's on the ballot. These farmers are so deep into conspiracy theories that they go to local government meetings and say wind turbines cause brain cancer. It's been that way around NW ohio for decades now

I went through there once. It's not so much like they ate paint chips as it is like they drank the paint directly.

Pretty much every town around here has lead pipes that are becoming a serious problem. Couple that with the de-industrialization that happened in the 70s and 80s, so anyone with ability got out of here back then.
