They are trying to sign up landowners around here for solar farms. The biggest factor is proximity to existing electrical substations, so I don’t quite follow the need for all new lines.

Our county allowed one to be built three or four years ago. The county then changed the zoning regulations so that another one will not be allowed. The solar farm did not live up to its promises and produces very little in the way of electricity. It’s now just an eyesore in the countryside. It would have been more economically productive if the land had just remained a hay field.
