Rural Backlash Against Renewables Surges, With 67 Rejections of Solar in U.S. Over Past 11 Months

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The average revenue from an acre of cropland is $900 a year. The same acre of solar is $12,000 a year. Simply leasing the land will produce more revenue per acre than crops.

Your data is incorrect.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No shortage of food. The vast majority of corn production goes to ethanol.

Wrong. It also goes for livestock food.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No one said ALL farms, dope.
More acres are dedicated to corn than any other crop.

Why do you post shit that is so easily disproved? Are you a moron?

Wheat has more acreage than corn.

No doubt. At least if they’re unwilling to embrace new ideas anyway. Energy is a commodity just like any other crop.

throw you some honey mustard on those solar panels and dig in!!!!!!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Farmers get subsidized payments. Welfare queens with tractors.

Exaggeration?. Why don't you be quiet about things you know nothing about?

 

[The Original Tree]

Maybe if they used their land to farm more energy instead of break even crops, they might just be less dependent on handouts.

Should Farmers Plant Solar Panels or Corn?

Corn occupies more land than any other crop in the US. A third of the corn harvest is used to make ethanol, which is an ingredient in the gasoline that powers our cars. Now that the transition to electric vehicles is in full swing, would that land would be better used to generate electricity?

Maybe you can eat Solar Panels instead of Chicken Wings, Pizza, and Hamburgers like you do Soy Boy.

Alternative Energy is not only bad for the environment, it is inefficient, and scars the land in addition to the shear amount of acreage it takes to set up a wind farm or solar farm.

Also, if you loon tards want to force everyone into EVs, it will take an additional 3,000 Nuclear Power Plants to meet the demand for the electricity guzzling vehicles. Moving us to EV Semis, will also require us to raise the weight limits of all bridges and roads by 8,000 lbs forcing us to spend Trillions of Dollars we do not have to accommodate your Earth Worshipping Cult.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Spare us. According to your theory, we should abolish every government program.

Most. Those that are not eliminated should be slashed.

No shortage of food. The vast majority of corn production goes to ethanol.

And afterwards...it is fed to livestock.

That's true of all government spending.

All the more reason to "adjust" budgets with a chainsaw.

End ethanol and corn gets cheaper, gas gets cheaper and your vehicle runs better. And as an added bonus the deficit gets reduced without the subsidies.

Naah. I like E10, my car is already tuned to run on it.

Do not ever eat again.

It appears that people are finally starting to wise up about the renewable energy swindle.

The hype about wind and solar energy keeps colliding with the hard reality of land-use conflicts. Nowhere is that more obvious than in Ohio, where 41 townships have rejected or restricted the expansion of wind and/or solar projects since last November. In addition, at least eight Ohio counties have implemented restrictions on Big Wind and Big Solar over that same time period.​

​

The soaring number of rejections – all of which are documented in the Renewable Rejection Database – brings the total number of solar rejections in the U.S. this year to 67. That total includes the October 12 unanimous vote by the Linn County, Iowa, Board of Supervisors to implement a moratorium on solar projects in their county. In all, since 2017, 94 communities across the U.S. have rejected or restricted Big Solar.​

​

Wind projects are also facing fierce resistance, particularly in Ohio, a swing state that is critical to presidential candidates. Thus far in 2022, 46 local governments, 40 of which are in Ohio, have rejected or restricted wind projects. Furthermore, since 2015, 370 communities from Maine to Hawaii have rejected or restricted wind projects.​

​

As I have noted in many previous articles, these hundreds of rejections are routinely ignored by big media outlets. Further, they don’t square with the schemes being promoted by academics from Princeton, Stanford, and other elite universities who routinely claim that the U.S. can build thousands of megawatts of new solar and wind capacity in rural America and do so in just a few years. But the facts cannot be denied.​

​

Here is the lowdown on what’s happening in Ohio. On August 23, the Ohio Capitol Journal reported that “At least 10 Ohio counties have passed resolutions blocking the development of new utility-scale wind and solar projects within all or part........​

Brainwashed hater dupe trump voter backlash you mean. Another great example of the GOP being a disaster for the country with misinformation, all to save the greedy idiot GOP rich from paying their fair share. Thanks big oil GOP

 

[francoHFW]

Besides the military industrial complex, farmers and Big Ag corps are the greatest welfare queens.

Farmers aren't making any big money, the middle man and the big corporations are. I want to do like the French and support family farms and good food instead of big food garbage. Tax the rich and giant corporations again, stop the giveaway to the rich and invest in America and Americans again.

In our county, farmers rent 5 acre parcels to Sanyo to build a windmill and get $60,000 a year in rent, stabilizing their farm income, and giving Ontario some of the lowest electricity costs in North America.

500 acres of soy beans. Average yield this year about 70 bushels an acre, selling price of soybeans... around 13 a bushel

Do the math

ALL forms of energy should be tried and encouraged, Not ALL things work for everyone in every situation. New ideas do not form in a locked mind.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

How about working without sucking off the taxpayer?

Farmers are the hardest working you leftist leech. You don't know the first thing about farming. Stop pretending you do. Goddamn left loon

Average.

Wrong. It also goes for livestock food.

Uh huh. The majority goes to fuel production.

Great. Drop a coal plant in their town instead.

That’ll teach us to offer them energy production without pollution.
