Many times, since I have belong to several clubs at one time per year, it has to do more conservative and older thoughts........right or wrong. Since I fly jets, I have found with the politics of it, that in the early days of jets, they were thought of as a high speed flying bomb. So, IMHO, Clubs' Presidents convinced County Officials that a turbines were dangerous and a fire bomb. In realilty, jets have become more safe then electric planes. Since CC has a fire rescue cart, a study was performed as to what caused more fires after impact.............the winner went to electrics!!
