To a certain degree, this is the State telling farmers that 25% of their land now belongs to the state and will be used as the state dictates.
If I was a rich pig farmer living next to a Democrat stronghold I would install fans that looked like windmills....

farms, they must commit 25% of their acreage to windmills.
To a certain degree, this is the State telling farmers that 25% of their land now belongs to the state and will be used as the state dictates.
and food production will drop by 25%.
On windmill energy, see Australia story. Highly dependent on windmill energy. Heatwave hit. No wind. To avoid a blackout they cut off energy to 90,000 homes. Welcome to the progressive future.
It hasn’t passed yet. I doubt the windmill part will be in the bill after committee, as there are only a few places such as the Altimont Pass that have enough constant wind to generate power. Ca does have enough sun/hours per month year round compared to other states, but the cost for intertie is probably too high compared to NG generation.
