Paving Virginia with solar slabs is bad law
By David Wojick |December 27th, 2021|Energy|13 Comments

The ill-conceived Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) has created an enormous stampede of proposed solar projects. The lineup of “subsidy farms” in progress is breathtaking. It is also stupid.

The numbers are incredible. Here are the ugly basics:

780 square miles of solar slabs so far and the list is growing. That is about 500,000 acres of countryside, farmland or forests destroyed and paved over.

Roughly 500 separate projects blanketing much of rural Virginia.

Requiring a staggering 160 million solar panels, mostly from China and all destined to become hundreds of tons of toxic waste.

The gruesome details are available on a county by county basis.

Not to mention that the soil underneath the slabs will be contaminated with leached heavy metals from the pv panels. Think about it - a 780 sq mile superfund site......
