Texas has wind and solar farms, but they are in the empty desert spaces-mostly in W Texas where there isn’t a lot of birds and other wildlife to be harmed-and no rich nimbys to whine-I’m fine with that-anyway, solar is more reliable on a smaller scale-like each person having their own panels and batteries, or a rural co-op-since sun and wind are not constant or totally predictable, that green deal s*** is a recipe for disaster-oil and gas are available from the earth in all kinds of weather-the sun and wind are not-democrats are idiots-they probably think there are unicorns, too...
Being ranch-raised I was taught that land planted with crops loses nutrients after awhile and needs to be left fallow for a few growing seasons-you let native grasses/plants grow and turn livestock out to graze-and crap-in that field-free fertilizer, so you can move the livestock to another pasture and plant the refreshed one again-it works just fine.
Those Buffalo/Bison are most certainly in a huge fenced enclosure like a game preserve-they are too dangerous to be running amok-look what happens to stupid tourists who ignore signs and approach them in parks-they get run down. Hopefully, when there are enough Bison in that place, there will be a season and permits sold to hunt, like is done in other states with other animals for proper game management-Bison is beef-
My electric co-op in WI, despite pressure has refused to purchase solar or wind power. If I recall correctly, their charter requires them to act in the interests of members, thus no expensive power. Passing the cost along as a corporation responsible to shareholder would, is a non starter. My guess this isn't a position all co-ops take.
Up here in NYS, solar is taking over the farmlands....thousands and thousands of acres
