A lot of people are probably extremely nervous right now. The fact that this story hit national news means that the repercussions will be magnified.

The solar farms will be torn down, people will be fined, government officials will be prosecuted, and the solar company (based in Hong Kong) will be banned from business in mainland China either directly or through a sea of paperwork that just so happens to now be required.

What a terrible waste of farmland. There’s so many good places to build solar…
