There are several so-called “solar farms” in our area here in rural NW Jersey. Yes, there are still some rural areas in N.J. The “farms” are not farms. It is a gross misnomer. They do not produce any veggies, fruit, poultry, or livestock. Quite the contrary, they take up hundreds of acres of farmland that could be put to much better use. They have done nothing to reduce our electric bills. Nothing.
Exactly. They are an eyesore, unreliable, and IMO, I see them as vehicles for Democrat (and RINO) money laundering.
I drove through Iowa on a road Trip some years back, and on Route 80 that runs East/West, and there was a gigantic wind farm (Adair Wind Farm) that went on for miles and miles. I only saw a few of them turning, and it wasn’t for lack of wind.
I don’t know what it was for lack of, but it didn’t look like it was returning anything on any kind of investment.
