Mom and I fighting an industrial solar complex right in the middle of rare East Texas post oak forest. We would love any suggestions how to beat these guys.

Mom and I, is a issue needs to be all the community and adjacent landowners, conservation groups, wildlife groups, any one tied to timber industry or agriculture

we’ve got 400 signatures and counting. No one in town knew about the solar complex. County officials and the German solar company worked secretly for two years. The solar company gets a $100 million tax abatement and the school district gets a cut. Texas is a nightmare when trying to fight the energy industry

I agree it started with Obama now continues strong with Biden! What about your school board members have you talked to them?

it’s not Obama or Biden. Here in Texas it’s a pro business tax break for energy plants that went in here statewide in the late 90’s. In fact, Obama’s clean water act would have prevented solar from showing up in our forested wetlands but Trump removed the federal mandate and of course anti environmental regulation Texas makes the act optional

well you seem more educated on the subject than I, elected officials of the state must investigate, environmental groups should be alarmed in the wetlands ! What county are you in?

We all need to get "required notices" out of papers & into another method of modern age communication!

no, nothing. The whole project has been kept under wraps. They are approaching landowners to log over 1,000 acres of forest 🌳. My mom included

This is a list of questions I assembled as I fought UK developer Eden Renewables two 5MWac solar energy resources at 13590 Duanesburg Road, Delanson, Schenectady County, New York.
