As someone who has a couple thousand acres of this going up near his house, i feel their pain. And for some reason they only want to put this retarded shite on producing Ag land. Millions of acres of desert, prairie and pine tree land and they only want it going on Ag land. Something is fricky

Yep. That’s my sole reason to oppose solar.
You want to build all this stuff out in the Permian or Arizona, fine.

Especially where those other areas have more sun days for collection. If the power was going to the adjacent localities, they could argue proximity and transmission issues, but that's not what is happening (although, it sounds like this one is intended for local distribution)

It all has to do with access to transmission lines and capacity. Nothing nefarious just big open tracts close to high capacity lines.

They want agland because they can, in most cases, avoid Clean Water Act permitting for one. That alone can drag a project out for several additional months and add 100s of thousands in mitigation costs depending on how many acres they are impacting.
It doesn't hurt that that land is also clean and ready to put panels on versus forested acres that require clearing and would certainly require additional permitting.
Interestingly enough, though, none of the properties I see proposed for solar "farms" are ever acres that were always pasture and never cropped.
Pasture isn't exempt from any kind of permitting. Prior Converted Cropland is.
