Supporting solar energy means supporting our farmers. In Lenawee County, our farmers have faced numerous challenges over the years. From unpredictable weather to fluctuating commodity prices, farmers need stable and reliable income opportunities. Solar energy can provide that stability, with long-term lease options, ensuring a steady income for decades.
People often forget that a farmer's land is not only beautiful but also their livelihood. In many cases, the extra income from lease payments allows farmers to hang onto their land for future generations. Preserving farmers means preserving farmland. Ensuring farmers have the tools they need to keep their businesses healthy is critical.
Solar energy is also a reliable driver of local economic development. Utility-scale solar energy projects can create hundreds of construction jobs, boost local businesses, and generate millions in tax revenue for schools, fire departments, and the community.
In places like Lenawee County, a solar farm can be an economic game changer and the advantages for a healthy future economy in this rural community are measurable.
Developing domestic solar energy strengthens national energy security. Diversifying energy sources makes electricity less vulnerable to attacks or volatility, keeping energy production safe within our community.
We stand together to support property rights, economic opportunities, and the safety and security of our energy grid. We urge decision-makers to support renewable energy development in Lenawee County to safeguard the future of our farmers and rural communities.
