I was talking to a client that was looking into getting into it. Said in Texas they were offering $800 a month per acre to be able to put up solar.

Thats nuts.

You do realize farming, agriculture, oil and gas and many other industries also get subsidies?

All are incredibly more efficient for their purpose than solar and wind and all are necessary. Solar and wind we can live without and be 100% OK.

Yes this will only help me. I've been spending the past year focusing on domestically made solar equipment anyway. Not having to fight solar farms for supply chain availability would be awesome for me.

There’s only one place solar panels should go: on rooftops. If a building can generate some of its own power at its source, it needs less from the power plant. That creates less strain on the grid. A solar panel field is just pollution masquerading as environmentalism.

Every time we drive up to OK to visit the in-laws, I get pissed off at every windmill that ruins my view of what I’m trying to look at from the highway.

Except for the Marine life that run into them and kill themselves via head injury.

The same ppl that applaud putting these in the ocean would scream bloody murder if it was an underground pipeline.

Thats only if they can sell the project. The fly by night landman that talk that shite will offer a low $ to lock you up for a few years then go try and pimp it out to a real developer. they have about a .25% close rate.

We do. It gets the same subsidy mechanism as wind.

That's not the point...It's not the job of the government to pick winners and losers. That is some socialist bullshite.

Let the markets decide.

Cousin was negotiating with Duke 2 years ago for 500$ a month and they take over tax payments. Local politicians want this because the rates switch to commercial instead of Ag. I'm against any ag land repurposed into green energy. Every thing being pushed by the globalist left has me thinking a worldwide famine is being engineered.

Like I said that is where zoning regulations come into play. I don't want commercial business in residential areas either.

so does this effect the ITC credit for Solar farms and Battery Storage?

Doubtful. I was talking to someone in govt relations a couple weeks ago and they said that congress would have to make that change. Which seems doubtful with as much manufacturing is moving to the US right now.

The one they tried to sneak in here was in a rural part of the parish where there is no zoning. That's what many try to do so they can avoid the zoning fight.

Thankfully the people who live in that area went to every meeting at the police jury hearings and got the jury to shoot it down.
