All the solar farms I've seen keep the ground relatively intact. its not like they're going to pave the acreage, so it seems like the land could be revived if the solar farm doesn't work out.


The land can be brought back into production but it will be cost prohibitive for agriculture if the solar farm goes belly up.

There’s a new solar development in West Baton Rouge. Should be interesting to see how it continues to develop.

That’s my folks primary concern, but I think the rest are only seeing the $$$. Undivided property so I’m sure it’ll get ugly.

If the state handles it like Texas did the consumer gets screwed big time. Solar is A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE than conventional generation. In order for the solar to pay its bonds off they get the state to require the utilities to buy this electricity at higher rates than they can generate it themselves and it gets passed on you you. It's a JBE transfer of wealth to his buddies. Pure scam.
