Protect Private Property Rights to Site Clean Energy

Learn why it’s critical to protect private property rights to site clean energy projects.

Since solar farms are often built on farmland, there have been concerns that solar is growing too fast and changing the fabric of rural America. In reality, very little farmland is needed for solar projects and only 0.6% of existing farmland would be required for solar farms to power 45% of the American grid. With this in mind, the federal government should protect the property right to siting clean energy projects on private land.
