Oh they consider it. They go step by step to take over rural areas such as the township I live in. 99% rural, 80% farmland. We have just found out two larger farmers have leased land totaling over a 1000 acres to solar farm construction. The township became “Solar ready” two years ago without most people’s knowledge. The solar company doing this is out of Houston, TX. It is the 3rd different company in a two township area to be selling leases for solar farms. They are paying the farmers unbelievable lease amounts, better than what they can make farming. Solar is beyond dumb in Michigan, and yet with our governor’s intervention is being pushed all over the rural areas of Michigan north of the Detroit/Grand Rapids area. These bozos may not have known but the Deep State guiding all this certainly did.

And then, after a hailstorm destroys their investment, they don't even say "my bad."

Because it was "the weather," you see . . .

Then they collect on their losses from their underwriters, THE TAXPAYERS.

Hopefully they have read the small print on their solar agreements....in Wisconsin after a few years the land belongs to the solar "company". The land owner is responsible for the solar panels when they become defunct and the materials of said solar panels are VERY difficult to dispose of!

The solar farms are sprouting up all around me in my rural county as well. Taxes are now so high farmers can’t afford to farm.

This one was hard to push the ‘like’ button on. But we all need to hear what you’re saying.
