Could solar panels cause earthquakes or poison water supplies?
'people' are increasingly aware of an energy crisis, even in the leafy burbs they're waking up especially as they realise that fracking will soon be coming to a town near them.... on our doorstep? That will have everyone reaching for the placards and pitchforks yes.
