As usual, progressive environmentalists are making perfect the enemy of good — this time in Amherst, Massachusetts. The victim? Solar power.

Community members and activist groups, including The Sunrise Movement, are supporting a temporary moratorium on large-scale solar projects for a variety of reasons, from lack of strict guidelines to the potential for deforestation. While it is entirely acceptable to want to vet any potential environmental projects, these blanket concerns are simply stopping clean energy deployment in its tracks.
