I’d love to see the energy output to carbon footprint ratio between WBR and Dow/Exxon across the river. I know who I’d put my $$$ on.

A solar farm in the middle of cane fields looks just as shitty as a dead end road with travel ball mom houses stacked 3ft apart

The electricity generated helps alleviate generation stress by other means, which are beyond outdated and inefficient, that’s why half of Louisiana loses power when there’s a frost.

Too many ppl in home playing PS5 = more power generation needed = outage.

It’s a good use of the land. Utilities would have to raise prices to customers to update their grids OR they can take advantage of nationally allocated dolla bills. Might as well take option 2.

Lol and that farm is going to add a lot more jobs than 4. It’ll take a dedicated crew 6 months to a year for project completion. That’s a lot of money flowing through the BR area, which Louisiana is honestly not in a position to be choosy about.

Because the regs say the 100% of what can be produce in electrons gets bought, so always max cash flow. Natural gas, coal, and nuke don't get such sweet deals to make full profit margin 24/7/365

Investors are making bank is why. Regs guarantee it.

Same with biodiesel manufacturers getting something like $6 per gallon and most is being shipped via rail co California. Sale to California and RIN credits is what that is all about. Without bullcrap regs would never compete with regular ULSD.

Looks like the entire northeastern corner of the parish will be under solar panels. Going to be fugly.

So what happens that thing is hit with a massive hail storm?

People can do what they want with their own land but turning net carbon reducing row crop in to solar fields is a loose loose anyway you look at it.

Stick that shite on warehouse roofs.

Not to mention it trashes the soil and good luck getting it cleaned up without pre escrowed funds. If then even.

The private property owners can put up whatever they want. It's funny how some conservatives from Louisiana are all of the sudden anti private property rights if someone puts up something they don't like because of "queer arse green energy crap."
