Come to the UK, where its so popular with a particular demographic that the ruling party banned on shore wind farms (lifted as a month ago) as well as large solar installs on farming land, even if its low yield for crops. Pretty sure they only lifted the onshore wind farm ban because nobody bid in the last offshore wind farm auction.
