'Evening News' Showcases War of the Greens: Trees vs. Solar Panels
"Richard Treanor lives across the fence, drives a hybrid car," CBS correspondent Ben Tracy said. "Ten years ago he planted these redwoods to provide privacy. Now they had his neighbor seeing red."
"He called us over to the fence one day and said ‘I am going to be installing solar panels and therefore you have to take your trees down,'" Treanor explained.
And thanks to California's 1978 Solar Shade Control Act, the trees had to go. Failure to comply is a criminal offense.
