Scott, totally agree that an increase in solar would be great on existing roofs and new construction. But I’m ok with panels going onto farmland. It gives the soil a chance to regenerate, saves the application of fertilizers and pesticides, and is removable 25+ years in the future if needed. I don’t know what the land near Charter Steel was used for before the panels were installed, but I applaud them for making this investment.

The power grid would not need to be upgraded for grid tie systems.
I think the power companies should be installing them for residential homes and farms instead of using 100’s of acres of valuable farm land.
Help keep the power locally to help with power loss from long distance transmission lines.
