I’ll say it. Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard is pathetic and our legislators should be embarrassed by it. https://t.co/wa1HXLR7jK

According to the @nytimes, solar developers, environmentalists, farming groups and tribal organizations recently reached an agreement that could make it easier in the US to build large #solar farms, which have attracted stiff opposition in some places. https://t.co/VR3vqdSYed

The agreement could help speed up the development of large solar projects that are often bogged down by fights over land use and environmental concerns.

Here’s a throwback for this week’s #LodestarLimelight! Millheim Borough in Centre County was one of the first entities we recognized, back in 2021. Learn how much money the solar array (installed by @BAIGROUP) saves the small but mighty municipality and how they use it.
