Nor can I. We need to acknowledge the importance of our community and we do
that through a consensus process in our decision making. But we do have
moral imperatives that transcend community. One of those is the health of
the planet and the desperate need to reduce fossil fuel consumption. If 45
days isn't enough time to offer an equally effective alternative to solar
panels, then the community hasn't been thinking about the problem and
shouldn't be allowed to stand in the way. If the community has a viable
alternative, then 45 days is surely enough time to dissuade a member from
acting unilaterally. In fact, the threat of unilateral action may stimulate
communities to actually grapple with this dire
