Apparently a law was passed in California 30 years ago making it a criminal offence for a tree to block solar panels.
Let that thought percolate in your brain for a second…
Why would someone pass such a law? Trees clean the air we breathe, and provide habitat for birds and animals. Solar power is a clean, renewable source of energy. These are both good things, so why would solar panels be considered more important? So important, that blocking one with a tree in California could earn you a fine and a criminal record.
