There's a 3,000 acre one being built by my house. On some of the best ag land in the world. It's asinine.

Same N of Shreveport, heard a large tract, some irrigated, under lease or option to lease for panels. There’s another timber tract Mooringsport/ Oil City direction supposedly going into panels.

A) Does anyone know what the state/federal incentives look like for these companies?

B) Are these companies expected to be able to sell their electricity at a competitive price to the local electric companies?

C) Is this a big play that regulations will come in that require a certain percentage of the electricity that the electric companies buy has to be "green"?

Then I know pretty close to where you live. My company which builds pipelines and facilities in the O&G business got into this construction market called Renewables early last year. There is probably no end in sight for this, along with carbon capture. I have been hearing about this project up there in NE LA for a few months and just hearing about the name knew that there was going to be some damn fine ag ground that would be sacrificed with this project. What is sad, is that there is some fine arse hunting spots that will bite the dust over this all in the name of the all mighty dollar.
