It’s insane the way influencers are bought to lie. There’s no way to know who is earnest and who is an idiot.
This is either nimby syndrome or fossil propaganda
According to the fine article there was a solar farm going up near her that would have interfered with protected wildlife, and she was upset that the local government was unresponsive to the people. This is the same justified anger people have at data centers being built near them.
However, she moved from that to claiming we don’t need solar anywhere. She doesn’t believe in human caused global warming, so from her completely unscientific worldview solar is just evil. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Her initial fight doesn’t seem legit, i guess she is fossil money from the start? A beatiful face with some semi-credibility that can be influenced easily. I wasn’t able to find much on photopholtaic-related dangers for birds, why are there so much concerns? The FortEdwardProject wasn’t on protected land, just next to it. So fair game for any oil or datacenter project, so again this is quite irrational. This basically leaves peoples fears as basis of her popularity, like the article shortly mentions.
