Solar energy faces community and environmental opposition.

TL;DR Summary
A solar project in East Windsor, Connecticut, has caused noise pollution for nearby residents, despite being within the allowed decibel levels. The developer, Verogy, has sold the project to NextEra Energy Resources, which is now working on a mitigation plan. The issue highlights the limits of what state and local officials can do once solar farms are in place, and threatens to become an albatross for the industry in an area where elected officials say they are being asked to bear more than their fair share of solar development.
