Joe Biden was blindsided after this game-changing report exposed the environment-destroying reality of this green energy scheme

Joe Biden is trying to force a green energy revolution on the country.

But the dark side of this transition is being exposed.

And Joe Biden was blindsided after this game-changing report exposed the environment-destroying reality of this green energy scheme.

Joe Biden boosting the solar industry

Democrats have spent years pushing solar energy as a centerpiece of their environmental extremist agenda.

They’ve sworn up and down to the American people that solar panels have no downside for the country and are only a positive step toward saving the planet from the supposed effects of climate change.

As Democrats tell it, solar panels merely harness the nearly limitless supply of solar energy generated by the gargantuan nuclear fusion reactor in the sky – known as the Sun – to create energy without emitting any of the deadly carbon emissions generated by burning fossil fuels.

They’ve funneled tens of billions of taxpayer dollars into the solar industry as a result, leading solar farms to sprout up all over the country.

To build these massive solar farms, companies are gobbling up productive farmland, further decimating what’s left of rural America, driving farmers out of business, and leading to increases in property values that inevitably force those who live throughout the area to leave behind their homes.

Indiana farm experiences a nightmare from solar energy

Indiana farmer Dave Duttlinger leased about 440 acres of his property to Dunns Bridge Solar LLC to create one of the largest solar projects in the Midwest.

Solar companies are primarily targeting the Midwest because of the abundance of wide-open land and lower costs – not to mention all of the lucrative, taxpayer-funded green energy incentives ruling-class elites at both the federal and state levels are handing out left and right.

Farmers in the area are told they can expect to receive up to $1,500 per acre they rent to solar energy companies, and the price increases yearly, according to Reuters. 

But Duttlinger’s lease to Dunns Bridge Solar turned into a nightmare scenario when he came outside in the spring of 2022 to see that his farm had been engulfed by hazy dust.

Phone calls poured in from his neighbors reporting that their properties were also being covered with the dust and that it was coming from his land.

Dunns Bridge’s solar lease with Duttlinger specifically stated it would make “commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any damage to and disturbance of growing crops and cropland caused by its construction activities” outside of the leased land and that it would “not remove topsoil.”

But subcontractors hired by the solar company did remove the topsoil from the leased land in order to build roads and install the solar panels.

Reuters visited the property and reported that nothing was growing on the land leased for the solar panels because it had been turned to brownish sand.

“I’ll never be able to grow anything on that field again,” Duttlinger lamented.

When he approached the parent company of Dunns Bridge about the damage, they said the company would look at any work that needed to be done when his lease expired – in 2073.

The Department of Agriculture had designated Duttlinger’s farm, like much of the farmland across the Midwest, as part of the best soil in the nation for growing crops.

Solar companies are gobbling up American farmland with some of the best soil in the country because they can offer as much as seven times the amount of rent that corn or soybeans would command.

USDA Agricultural Research Service’s National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment former Director Jerry Hatfield told Reuters that the growth of solar projects on high-quality farmland in the Midwest was “concerning.”

“It’s not the number of acres converting to solar,” Hatfield said. “It’s the quality of the land coming out of production, and what that means for local economies, state economies, and the country’s future abilities for crop production.”

To meet Democrats’ environmental extremist demands, American farms are being bulldozed to make way for environment-destroying solar farms.
