My great grandpappy never got over putting his trusty horse out to pasture but he sure did learn to love his Model T.

I am 35 minutes northwest of Columbus Ohio. We have been getting letters from companies wanting to put solar panels on our fields. Some farmers have shown interest, I am sure my dad would never do it. It does pay good from what I have heard but so far they are just wanting to lock up ground in case they decided to build.
This would be needed for the Green deal to work, but you should hear the back lash from non farmers who dont want to lose being able to see farm ground. There are already groups forming to find a way to keep this from happening by zoning or other ways. The problem is for those that would not lease for solar panels, there were be even more competition for what ground is left and that will just raise costs. It really doesnt look good for any of us

Yup, the world always needs change and upgrades just like the automobile.
We will always need to mix Old with New. I’ll stick with my Old. Fill-er-up please. CT. |

The Democrats wanted a clean energy subsidy incorporated into SB-6 and they got it in the form of legislation for solar tax caps and millions in government seed money to start up solar farms. This is a deal that nobody wanted except the politicians and the solar companies that were set to feed $$$ at the taxpayers expense. A solar farm should have to pay taxes like the rest of us, and should have the same operational risks and economic risks as any other business. |

This is a big issue for our farmers. It's worth the time to watch it.

"Average house has 100 amp service at the box. Fast charger technology requires 200 amp minimum. Once the breaker boxes are upgraded then the transmission capacity at the street and the grid becomes completely and utterly substandard."
I agree with the premise that we are ill suited to make the transition to ALL electric in short order. The folks pushing for all electric vehicles have not thought through how we are going to produce so much more than we have now. The transition will need to be more gradual. Personally, I believe the transition can be made easily using plug in hybrids. That is what is working for us. Having said that, 99% of the time, the average consumer will not need to upgrade the home service. We plug Sherri's Ioinic in when we get home from work; into a regular 120 household outlet. It charges overnight. The fast charge technology NORMALLY is only needed on trips.

Also insurance companies are REQUIRING more power to keep your insurance valid! Back in April of 2005 I sold my house that was built in 1956. That house had been upgraded to 100 amp service. The buyer actually had 30 day after possession to upgrade to 200 amps or his insurance was getting cut off. I was in my new house for a couple months so I was allowing them to go in and do the upgrades before closing.

I know quite a bit about the solar farm issue as to date my neighbors and I have been successful in blocking an 800 acre solar farm that is planned right down the street.

If you're concerned about wind and solar farms occupying land then look what is happening in Germany in the relentless search for more coal. One day you're living in your several-hundred year old village and the next there's a open-pit coal mine that can be seen from space.
