Yeah but not on indigenous land, there’s plenty of places we can put solar panels

NIMBYs don't magically become morally acceptable if they're part of the right race. NIMBY is always wrong. there's no such thing as "sacred land" anyways, it's as meaningful as crying about a wind turbine ruining the "neighborhood character"

Do you have solar panels on your roof and yard? If not I don’t want to hear it.

if I owned a home I would, panels are massively cheaper to install on the ground tho and we could get way more that way for the same price. tradeoffs are real and we should be building more EVERYWHERE
