"USDA Limits Funding For Solar, Wind On Farmland" [1]
"The Agriculture Department is curtailing its support for solar and wind energy on farmlands.
In a Monday post on the social media platform X, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the department “will no longer deploy programs to fund solar or wind projects on productive farmland, ending massive taxpayer handouts.”
The department, on Tuesday, said that wind and solar projects would no longer be eligible for USDA business and industry loan guarantees.
It also said it would put restrictions on projects that receive funding through the Rural Energy for America Program. Specifically, larger solar projects — those with a capacity of more than 50 kilowatts — will not be eligible.
The moves come on the heels of other administration efforts to hamper renewable energy."
