I have a lake home in Central MN. There are shit tons of wind turbines near my home.
The recent moves by the feds to limit wind makes no sense. If a farmer wants to lease some small plots of likely unusable planting property to a company that generates electricity via wind who the fuck cares? While the feds can stop land use options as they see fit, the way it’s worded makes it seem as if it’s not a good thing for farmers to use their land as they see fit—something that’s likely intentional.
The oil companies do.
- chneu 1y agoA lot of farmers LOVE solar because it's way less work than farming and makes consistent money. I know a bunch of farmers who have started installing solar in their fields..
- bluGill 1y agoThe farmers don't matter here - this is about the small towns and suburbs which gain nothing and so can be mades to care about something that isn't relavant to them.
