Just stumbled across this random fact today—apparently, in some places, getting approval to set up solar or wind projects can take longer than actually building them. Like, you know, the paperwork and bureaucracy stuff drags on forever. Kinda ironic, right? I mean, we're all pushing for cleaner energy, but then there's this maze of red tape slowing things down. Wonder if anyone else has heard about this or knows why it's such a hassle...
Yeah, that's pretty spot-on. Dealt with something similar when helping a client get solar panels installed on their home last year. The actual installation took maybe two weeks, tops... but the approval process dragged on for months. I think part of it is outdated local regulations and zoning boards still catching up to newer tech. Hopefully it'll streamline as renewable energy becomes more common.
