Posts - Bill - HR 1237 PANELS Act
house 02/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We're striving to balance the need for renewable energy with the preservation of our most fertile farmland through the PANELS Act. This legislation aims to refocus solar energy investments away from prime and unique agricultural lands to safeguard critical resources for food production while continuing to support clean energy growth in more suitable locations.

This bill is a great example of how to put Big AG over clean energy futures.

Finally, a bill that says farmland is for food, not vanity solar projects!

This PANELS Act ensures our croplands are used for what they do best: feeding America.

Looks like the PANELS Act wants us to harvest fossil fuels on our precious farmland instead of the sun.

It would be nice if Congress would consider soil health and solar panels before playing favorites.
