This isn’t a thing. The factors for selecting any power plant location is exclusively dictated by interconnection, grid congestion and ROI.
Agree to disagree.
I've seen 1000 acre plots purchased that were otherwise identically priced and positioned... And they have repeatedly purchased those being farmed rather than grassland. Even though the farmed land would require significantly more improvements.

So you are all in on it being a conspiracy.
Because there is no halfway.

You can’t say they’re the same or even similar without a grid congestion and interconnection survey. Neighboring properties can require vastly different resources to achieve interconnection. That’s before the nuances of the commercial terms.

Dumb fricking comment. The solar farms arent benefiting that area retard. It wont even put jobs in the area. It WILL kill agriculture which does put jobs in the area and produce food. I wouldnt think this would need to be explained. But i guess you're like the regular yankee east coast libs who think their food just comes from a fkn grocery store.

They can finance them and pay the note on whatever they finance with whatever extra energy is used, beyond what it takes to pay my bill.
There is not a chance in hell that I will finance it, for me to pay for, with no way for me to know how much elec. is actually generated, and an ever changing price for panels. One day, a panel is $100, another, it is $250. They can frick right off. They are as slimy as JBE.

So, do you think a new coal-fired or nuclear plant that you mention A. Be welcome by these parrish neighbors and B. would they be naive enough to think their billed kwh would somehow quickly plummet after completion?

Migrant workers sending money back home will still tend the areas around this small plot going to a solar farm.

Then pay cash. Get a good design in a tool like Aurora. And don’t pay per panel. Solar is sold $/W.
Also plenty of the asset managers offer 95% performance guarantees that’s one of the reasons I bring up going with a fenced option because they will monitor it for you and warranty the performance.

Puerto Rico solar farm seeing 150mph winds versus Baton Rouge that never sees 100mph winds
Why didn't you post the solar farm after Ian that never stopped producing power for the city.

the best domestic energy production facility soon to be built in the general area is the Magnolia Nat gas/Hydrogen combined cycle plant that is being built soon
Doesn't consume remotely close to the same amount of land, produces over 10x the amount of energy as the proposed solar farm, can produce power whenever needed to support the grid in any weather situation
The hydrogen part im on the fence with, bulk hydrogen is being produced from decarbonizing natural gas, which uses energy itself to do, and hydrogen is a much less energy dense fuel

Made with complete fricking garbage too. Tier 1 modules in wind rated racking (all required in high wind areas) perform just fine.

Millions of acres of desert, prairie and pine tree land and they only want it going on Ag land.
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)

I always find this topic intriguing. No one controls the flow of electrons so it’s always powering the nearest load demand. But the virtue signalers like to put these out in the middle of no where and play the arbitrage game to claim they’re solar powered.

Louisiana has long been the corporate whore. Tax credits galore, regardless of what the citizens either want, or what benefit they will receive.

So, we, in Louisiana can self generate our own electricity through projects similar to these solar farms.
Better we use more reliable generation sources that we already have like oil, lignite, and natural gas.

Many in this This state don’t want any positive change. They just want something to bitch out.
Let me make it clearer for you.
EDITED to correct info. Underestimated how many Mitchell Ourso little white castle could have
This, Mitchell Ourso (not the parish president. Do not know how the land owner feels now), that is (may be) crying about a solar industrial site in his neighborhood had ZERO issues with it when his family owned, Ourso Properties, land in a different parish was about to lease 1000s of acres for a different solar site.
In fact, I bet he was upset they missed out on all those lease payments (this is still true), but frick the homeowners and new school in the area, right? Because "progress" right?
In the end, losing farmland isn't really a concern for me like it would be for farmers, obviously. But there are too many unanswered questions, empty promises, and NO BENEFITS AT ALL to the people that have to live next to that shite
So this land owner may be getting what he deserves, he might not care at all if he lives next to it
Parish President of the same name obviously does care, but does not own property that tired to lease out land for same purpose

I can when they are on the same hwy right next to each other and the one not purchased was mine
They spent months doing the dirtwork I had already done on mine.

It's the only one I believe. There appears to be targeted purchases of farmland with the intention of decreasing US grain production.
