Wow interesting. Maybe in more arid climates there is less opposition because there's fewer trees to preserve? Otherwise I can't imagine why it would be different.

I haven't heard any backlash against batteries here although there has been some against large solar projects.

I usually see people saying the batteries will catch fire and the toxic gasses will kill everyone within 3 miles. Like many NIMBY complaints, they are barely based in reality and blown away out of proportion.
