Got to see this first hand. A bunch of environmentalists killed a solar project because supposedly part of it would cast a shadow on a stream that the fish wouldn't like. Ironically, fish often hide under rocks etc, so my guess is the fish WOULD have like the added protection if there actually was a periodic shadow.

The other reality - everyone had nice houses with views and didn't want to see solar panels :) So after fighting and protecting for things like solar, they now only wanted the solar to be forced on folks elsewhere. The project was actually super cool otherwise - an old school type business was going to go green in part with this project.
