Congrats Cav. It shows your hard work pays off. It looked like a big win for Indiana tonight, but I fear it only makes the future that much harder to take as an IU fan.
i have watched your deals in the past why does say they voted against you. Did they print bs.

The article you posted is about the Bartholomew County meeting. There was also a city meeting for a smaller development within the City's jurisdiction which apparently passed.i have watched your deals in the past why does say they voted against you. Did they print bs.
Appeals board votes against solar proposal - The Republic News
The Bartholomew County Board of Zoning Appeals voted to deny a request for a conditional use permit for Carina Solar to allow a commercial solar energy system in the Agriculture Preferred zoning district. The vote was 4-1 against the proposal with Arnold Haskell voting in dissent.
That was the county portion, the city portion, or about 800 acres, got approved last night.i have watched your deals in the past why does say they voted against you. Did they print bs.

Good work.
Our community is throwing a shit fit over solar panel fields. Bad deal for the community great for the farmer.
I would have expected nothing else from your thinking
. Surprised I didn’t hear you speak against it last night!
It doesn’t impact me but 2,600 acres of solar panels is pissing a lot of home owners off. Bad deal all around for the community. Also stunts any home growth that way.I would have expected nothing else from your thinking
Great news! Give a bunch of money to IU and get a building named after you. It was good for John Camp Cougar Melon.
Man people are getting tired of big energy bills. They can fix it easier than they think.I would have expected nothing else from your thinking
Except the solar panels are not housing the power in the community they are in. One farmer stood up in our meeting and said you got to be a special kind of stupid to put Solar panels on some of the most fertile dirt in North America and ship the power to Chicago.
Oh no doubt…it’s a good deal to those land owners who are getting $1,800 an acre for it. That’s who is benefitting
Thank you. Good post from someone who obviously knows something about the subject.
It’s made to pair with natural gas. You can spin up a gas steam turbine in an hour. You can’t do that with coal. When you make excess power which every power company does you sell it on the national market. You don’t think Indiana sells power to other grids? We buy (and sell)our power on the open market(you can too). You think building more homes on fertile ground is good too? More junky track homes that people buy because there isn’t any options. Crappy built too.
Yes that was shot down and county wanted to zone for housing. This land is about 2,700 acres of panels and a lot of people are impacted because their back yard is now solar panels. Ability to sell home because of this is a major concern of the impacted home owners. It’s a huge shit fest on our community. It will be interesting to see what happens. Law suits starting to fly, petitions to the state. It’s bad.
The real problem is the state lets the power companies do whatever they want. I saw them give Centerpoint more than they asked. Twice. They will continue to invest in wind and solar but try to keep you from doing the same. Duke and Centerpoint are awful energy companies.
I went to our meeting just as a land owner. We have land we cash rent out by the new panels but we are considered to wet to put panels on. Home owners are the ones pissed and neighboring farmers
Disagree, great deal for the landowner, bad deal for the farmer. Most farmers own a small percentage of what they farm, the majority of acres are either cash rented or rented on a share basis. I'm a retired farmer, my son still farms. He lost almost 400 acres of rented ground this year to a solar farm. You just don't go out & replace those acres. In that particular county there is 8-9,000 acres of prime farm ground proposed to go into solar farms in the next 5 years. If this trend continues across the country it won't be long before we'll be importing our food from foreign countries. If you think food bills are high now, just wait
Luckily in Indiana 1/2 the corn goes to ethanol, and there is absolutely no demand for corn or soybeans. That’s why prices are so low, and many farmers can’t survive where the prices are.
When the solar panels, which most are made in China, continue to take up prime farmland and we won't be able to feed our people then what? It's a dumb idea and we continue to make China richer! The Farmers don't like it either, only the people who own the ground and leases it to the farmer! Most big farmers lease more land than they own but now the land owners not the farmer can make more from the solar panels!
lol you are so wrong. No demand? You realize it’s a world market that has ups and downs like all markets right? I work for one of the largest seed companies in the country.
Absolutely no demand for corn or beans ! This is a dumb statement! There will always be a demand for corn and beans ! The price fluctuates because the weather has good and bad growing seasons in different states which affects the harvest and that affects the prices !
Well you could probably guess if we are top 3
There is an 800 million dollar facility that got approved and will be online by 2025 manufacturing the panels in Jeffersonville IN. You don’t wanna come in to this octagon with me. I have heard every single one of the arguments. I’m gonna lock this now. But we can talk on the off topic forum about it till you bend the knee.
That’s my in with half of the farmers. We talk about how much IU sucks and we hate our lives! Lol
