What have you been told about solar?

People say clean energy can’t produce enough power. Others say only liberals and hippies support it. They’re wrong.

Solar energy is supported by 70% of Ohio conservatives. Farmers produce it on their land to bring in new revenue, offset costs, and power their businesses. These are our neighbors. People who work for a living. Hippies? Hardly.
