re: Opposition to Solar Project in Iberville Parish

Several chem plants.
A lot that buy up surrounding properties and convert the land to buffer area rather than agriculture.
The Parish President sounds like he is virtue signalling.
There is a reason Iberville is a shithole with some of the lowest income and education. Decisions like this.

A lot of other petrochem companies that buy up land for buffers actually do lease it out to crop farmers and/or cattle grazers. They just don’t want people living too close to them for liability reasons should there be an accidental release or God forbid an explosion, but have absolutely no problem with a farming or grazing tenant on their lands.
That is a fact. Goes on all over the Permian Basin as well.

Solar farms don't need any buffer areas to have in limbo though.

the only one who benefits from this is Entergy and their ESG score that no one with a logical brain actually gives a frick about

No, and like I’ve said, not opposed to them.
But putting them in an area that takes food crops out of rotation is dumb.

It’ll be funny when the NIMBYs get their way then the land owners say frick it and sell it to China.

Or Bill Gates. There's a thread about that a few times per year.

Is it private property?

Oh... an idiot.
There is NOTHING positive about a solar farm.

It is and the surface owner has every right to do what he or she wants with their property. Or should.
Doesn't mean I have to like it, though.

That’s fair.
Trying to stop the development or even supporting that effort is a different story. frick those people.

They built a lot of solar in my county in FL. Each month this summer has been a record-breaking electric bill for me. They just voted themselves another rate increase. Having thousands of solar panels has not helped anything. The a-holes that always beat on my door to sell me solar panels tell me they MUST go on my roof instead of at the bak of my yard, in frames like the electric companies have theirs in.
This is the salesman when I say I do not want holes in my new roof.
"There will be no electric when you're living in a van down by the river."

Those idiot door knockers just don’t like ground mount EPCs. If you have the room there’s no reason you can’t do it and plenty of the big boys will even finance them if you want.

I agree with you if that's a person who owns it.
I disagree with you if it's a corporation specifically targetting fertile land.
Make no mistake, solar is the future. Solar farms are not. I think there are a lot more steps between coal and solar. Specifically nuclear.
A tesla roof would easily supply all of my electrical needs while likely being more durable than asphalt shingles.

This isn’t a thing. The factors for selecting any power plant location is exclusively dictated by interconnection, grid congestion and ROI.

I would imagine they are targeting cheap land regardless of fertility.
