And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

I've also heard anecdotes about companies leasing land for energy production. Windmills have similar restrictions on the landowner. Like no permanent structures within 100m. So, no barns, stables, corrals, etc. can be built for the 100 year term.

I don't have an issue with green energy, but those agreements are not nearly fair enough to the landowners.
