Yes but the Coalition will because solar gives you cancer.

> solar gives you cancer

Is that hyperbole or are they seriously saying that?

Hyperbole in that specific case, but they did have an enquiry into wind turbines partly examining alleged health effects...

Okay, that's not as outlandish as health hazards from solar. We have a lot of wind turbines in Northern Germany, and some people complain that they emit low-frequency sounds and thus cause noise pollution. I don't know about the research on this topic, though; I never noticed any adverse effects when staying near wind turbines.
