"In our area, it means using farmland....just plain stupid."

I'm assuming that solar farm is meant to supply power to a larger area, not just the farmer and his equipment?

If it's just for the farmer I'm 100% for it. I have a solar system on my house and I love it so much I'm upgrading it and getting an electric car. But I'm in a good situation for it (in the south, own my home, plan to live there the rest of my life, metal roof, large portion of my roof facing south, no shade) and I manage it myself -- making it much more efficient than bureaucrats do things. I produced 59% of all the power I consumed last year, pulling 41% from the grid. After the upgrade I'll produce about 90% of all the power I need, even with charging the EV.

Even with all of that working in my favor, I'll still be 10% dependent on the grid. All the Dims' talk about getting completely off fossil fuels is bull crap.
