Bribe or community benefit? Sweeteners for renewables need to be done right

Hilarious.

When a fossil fuel company started fracking near me, not only did I not get paid, but I also got poisoned tap water that's no longer safe to drink, earthquakes, and subsidence cracking roads and house foundations.

The double-standards are appalling. I'd rather have a solar farm or wind turbine next-door than be within 500 miles of a fracking operation or coal mine.

Mere "externalities" in business parlance

Didn't somebody in your neighborhood get paid for the underground and/or surface rights?
