Spanberger proposes putting solar panels on 250,000 acres of farms and forests
Original: Spanberger recommends a quarter million acres of new solar panels on farms and forests
Virginia congresswoman and gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is recommending that roughly a quarter of a million acres of farmland and forest be used for new solar panel installations. The proposal, reported by WJLA, would make large-scale solar a major feature of the state's energy landscape and is likely to draw debate over land use, agriculture and clean energy goals.
Why now: A prominent politician's large-scale land use proposal for solar energy is drawing public attention amid ongoing energy and election debates.
