Will First State farms see solar instead of soybeans?

Maddy Lauria

We’ve recently reported extensively on Delaware’s efforts to address climate change – specifically Climate Change Solutions Act – recently signed by Gov. John Carney. That law puts the state on the path to make zero net additions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by 2050.But the road to reaching that goal is already proving to be a bumpy one with tensions cropping up in numerous areas. One example – the effort to turn some First State farmland into solar farms.Maddy Luria took a closer look at this issue for the Delaware Journalism Collaborative, a partnership of local news and community organizations working to bridge divides statewide. This week, she joins us to discuss this potentially polarizing issue.
