Maybe some of these things (at least rooftop solar, but maybe not wind turbines) ought to be guaranteed by right on a Federal basis, kind of like how the FTC prevents local governments from stopping people from putting up antennas.

From the article it looks to be only "utility-scale" projects that are blocked, I assume that doesn't include roof solar.

I haven't heard of local ordinances myself, but I have heard of HOAs fighting them.

Is there anything a HOA won't fight?
