Federal Funding Cuts Damage Farm-Based Wind and Solar Projects
Douglas Berman and Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, report that the federal government will no longer provide funding for wind and solar projects on productive farmland. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the policy change, which removes USDA loan guarantees and restricts Rural Energy for America Program funding for larger solar projects. McIntyre and Berman note this mirrors recent federal cutbacks on residential solar incentives, raising concerns about the future of renewable energy adoption.
