A Wisconsin state representative believes recent legislative action regarding renewable energy development demonstrates a clear position on safeguarding agricultural land from solar and wind projects.
Representative Travis Tranel indicated that the community solar legislation was moved from the Energies and Utilities Committee to the Agriculture Committee as the State Assembly concluded its Friday session. According to Tranel, this committee transfer resulted in Agriculture Committee members conducting proceedings on the matter.
The lawmaker views this procedural move as delivering a significant statement about the development of renewable energy infrastructure on valuable farming acreage throughout the state.
