Original: To Block Solar Energy Projects, One Community Lumped Them in With Junkyards and Adult Bookstores

The ordinance effectively restricts where solar farms can be built, drawing attention to how local land-use decisions are slowing renewable energy development across the country.
Why now: It highlights a novel local zoning tactic being used to slow solar energy development at a time of national debate over renewables.
