No cost. No Catches. No Kidding!

“It’s not a manual. It’s a mirror—and a reminder that standing your ground is never the wrong choice.”

This isn’t a guidebook. It’s a truth-telling book—written for everyday people who are being gaslit, ignored, and shoved aside in the name of “green progress.” It’s not here to teach you how to fight... it’s here to remind you why you must.

It lays out, in plain language and real-world examples, how so-called “green” development is exploiting rural land, values, and people. And it reminds you—you’re not alone. Your instincts are right. Your values matter. And your community is worth protecting.

What You’ll Find:

  • A breakdown of how rural communities are being targeted by utility-scale renewables

  • Stories that ring true because they are true

  • Moral and emotional encouragement when you feel like you're the only one saying, "This doesn’t feel right"

  • A few sharp edges and a lot of heart

Surrounding the structures, there are patches of grass and dirt with a network of roads and pathways visible. A few scattered trees line the streets and there are several parked cars near the building.
