Congressman Harris supports USDA's decision to stop funding solar projects on farmland and ban foreign-made solar panels.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Andy Harris expressed support for a recent decision by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, which terminates the use of taxpayer funds for solar projects on prime farmland. The policy also prohibits the use of solar panels manufactured by foreign adversaries in USDA-financed projects, addressing concerns over the impact of solar farms on agricultural land.
The USDA noted a near 50% increase in solar panels on farmland since 2012, with local leaders highlighting issues caused by state mandates that limit county oversight on solar projects. Secretary Rollins emphasized that "prime farmland should not be wasted," asserting that existing solar farms could hinder future agricultural use.
Harris aligned with this viewpoint, criticizing "wasteful green energy subsidies" and advocating for the preservation of farmland for future food production. He termed the new directive vital for maintaining agricultural viability in rural areas, further indicating the administration's stance against foreign solar technology in public projects.
