Near the south end of San Francisco Bay, a homeowning couple are having their redwoods cut down. It's that or go to jail, or at least pay a fine; seems their trees stand between the sun and their neighbors' solar panels. So they were being criminally prosecuted for that theft -- which it is, more or less, under the Golden State's Solar Shade Control Act, signed into law 30 years ago by Gov. Moonbeam, now California's attorney general.
The defendants spent $37,000 in legal fees trying to make their case for trees -- which they had planted four years before the neighbor installed his rooftop photovoltaic apparatus. Trees being trees, of course they grew -- and grew; during the course of a decade, they've reached 20 to 40 feet.
