Solar power plants burden the counties that host them

In short: they don’t hire the locals to build them, they don’t hire the locals to run or maintain them, they get exemptions to paying the local property taxes, many of them are built on federally-owned lands and that removes the land from recreational use (thus reducing the number of people who might vacation and spend money there) and they require that local emergency services be expanded at local expense.
