    While I wouldn’t blame farmers that actually farm, for shortages. I’d definitely put some of it on the heads of the farmers that don’t plant, or even worse sell their lands to be covered in “green energy” products like what just happened in Blackford county. 21,400 acres sucked up for solar and wind farms. Giving up some of our most important resources (FERTILE LAND) for garbage ways to produce electricity. And it will only become more valuable as more and more people populate this earth, here in the US increasing by over a million per year just from legal immigration and god only knows how many illegals. We need that land to feed people more than ever.

    I missed the meeting. No surprise they are moving forward. They surveyed my place last fall without any effort to communicate intent. If I hadn't been home, I would never have known.

    They put a cell tower up across the road from me a couple months ago. The horizon will never be the same.

    They are definitely going to grind out the natural beauty and our real lifeline for this garbage. The worst part is they asked for and received a tax break of 75%(!) for 10 years. Wind turbines only last like 20-25 years. It was incredibly stupid and seemed pretty predetermined. The council members were just seeing the $$$ the lawyers were hyping up.

    Their funniest line was saying it would lower our property taxes because the other places would be paying the taxes for them. They would pee down your back and tell you it was raining. There’s no way they are going to reduce our property taxes, they will just double dip on the money. Only way our property taxes are going down is if they consider the horrible view in the tax assessment.

    There have been a lot of production, warehousing, and other buildings burning down and exploding all over the place. The real question is, how often has this happened over time, and is it happening more now or is it just getting more coverage?

    I got a question at one of the factories I visit about supporting solar. My opinion is people are free to put it on their roof or whatever, but that carpeting prime farm ground with panels in Indiana probably was a waste. The panels would make more sense in the desert where it's sunny longer and you can't get much food value from the land without expensive irrigation.

    Indiana Michigan Power bought some the best farmland in St Joe County, the former St Joe Farm right along the toll road in Granger, and covered it in a 20 megawatt solar array.

    There are plenty of far less productive 200 acre parcels they could have built it on.

    Just dumb.

    I have no issue with solar on peoples roofs. I’d love my own array and to be able to go off the power grid. Wasting some of the best land on the planet is an insane misuse of our planets limited resources and space. I fully agree about putting it in a desert. Just cover the Mohave and Sahara in the stupid things and leave the prime land alone for food.
