Viewpoint: Solar Is a Solution, Not a Problem

When Doral Renewables approached me about potentially transitioning our farm to solar power, I had some long conversations with Doral and my family. My first concern was the same as many solar opponents — ensuring the character and culture of my family’s agricultural heritage are maintained. I thought back to my dad in the 1970s and 1980s; he helped pioneer anti-erosion land management practices, winning the Indiana Farmer of the Year award in 1982 and national recognitions.
