Unfortunately I suspect this idea is somewhat dead-on-arrival… anti-renewable people will fight it for obvious reasons, while environmentalists will fight it due to concerns over shading the waterways.

Why would environmentalists be concerned about shading canals?

What's the fallacy called where you oppose something based on the fact that it has impact on something, not realising that the alternative is is even worse?

I see people talk about how ugly solar panels make mountainsides, but when I ask "would you prefer a coal factory there instead?" nobody would.
