First, all tax credits for installation of massive solar and wind farms needs to be banned. A lot of issues arise with zoning. Many counties in Pennsylvania have added ‘solar farming’ as an approved development on agriculturally zoned land. Combined with a tax credit, and struggling farmers, local municipalities have been fighting to stop these monstrous projects from overtaking our rural communities and fertile ground. More tax advantages need to go to keep farmers farming. We need a federal ban on solar and wind on ag and public zoned lands.
If you remove the tax credits for wind/solar and replace it with tax credits for organic and regenerative farming the problem should solve itself. Add in the ability for farmers to save their own heirloom seeds and they save even more money.
The farmers will know the federal government prioritizes and needs their talent’s for feeding America Healthy food.

I absolutely agree! We are fighting this in Oklahoma! It is SO bad for the land, air, water, human and animal life! These things are just a scam!

We spent $25k on a lawyer to help us fight a proposed solar farm across from our home. We basically did the job of the county. It’s all about money.
