Heard yesterday 3000 acres of prime farmland 2 miles south of us is going to industrial solar as soon a the legal battles conclude. Sad day in the neighborhood when retiring "gentlemen" farmers sell out farmland to outsiders instead of those that have been renting their land.

@TuckerCarlson The Earth makes it's own energy. Coal, oil and natural gas are examples. They can be utilized in a matter that does not cause excessive pollution. We figured that out over 50 years ago. The "big picture" of industrial scale "green" energy does not compare in overall efficiency.

@TuckerCarlson It's always best to buy local Tucker. Have a local rural feed mill grind your feed for you or get to know a local farmer and grind your own feed. It's time we Americans establish a much more secure local and regional food system. Everybody needs to grow a garden also.
