I agree whole heartedly. This is an example of the judicial system run amuck. I suppose if someone builds a home in the shadow of a mountain and wants to install solar panels he can get such judges to rule that those living on the mountain are just out of luck because the mountain has to be torn down to accommodate the idiot who wants to harness solar energy in a place where the sun don't shine. Arghh!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm an environmentalist through and through and applaud folks who do what they can to reduce CO2 emissions, etc., but this was truly an idiotic judicial decision. The tree indeed "was there first" and those who own the tree should not have to cut it down because the neighbors decide they want to harnass solar rays. The neighbors should move somewhere where their desire to implement the use of solar panels is practical and doesn't impinge upon the rights and property of their neighbors. Just my humble (though perturbed) opinion.
