Environmental idiocy

From the San Jose Mercury News, January 24, 2008:

California's Solar Shade Control Act protects solar panels from obstructions from sunlight, and in January, Santa Clara County officials sought to enforce the law against homeowners who themselves are staunch environmentalists. Since the back yard of Prius-owners Richard Treanor and Carolynn Bissett contains lush redwood trees that block their neighbor's panels, the county ordered that the trees be cut down.

(H/T Jeff Baker who adds that "only in California would there be something this ludicrous.")
