Looking at social media in Japan, I tend to see strong enmity towards solar -- eg large solar farms destroy the surrounding environment, they don't fit in with Japan's mountainous terrain and are prone to breakage during storms and landslides, failure to generate after snow, processing of obsolete units, etc. While there seems to be merit to many of the arguments made, the overall hostile attitude towards solar in general comes off as surprising; it's as if they think solar is by default evil. Wondering what shaped this attitude.
