This is precious farmland.
Now this is precious farmland bulldozed in the name of the so-called “green” energy movement – all to fight a ‘climate crisis’ that exists more in the headlines of leftist corporate propaganda media outlets than in the actual world.
Citizens around the world have been spoon-fed doomsday climate propaganda for decades – and warned of an impending climate apocalypse that never arrives. Yet every year, climate taxes increase and energy costs soar, as well as power grid reliability crumbles. Why? Because climate alarmist progressives have hijacked energy policy, pushing reckless green agendas that are now backfiring.

Since 2015, global solar installations have outpaced all fossil fuels combined. In 2024, the U.S. solar sector grew significantly, and public support for solar is at an all-time high.
Yet there’s a dark side to solar. We already know it’s an unreliable form of power generation, but did you know one of its major drawbacks is the massive land requirement?
Solar projects are now surpassing 200 megawatts in size, and to support them, companies are gobbling up vast swaths of precious farmland. This land grab has ignited the early stages of a global revolt.
“From Spain to Texas and India to England, solar projects are encroaching on prime agricultural land. Farmers and ranchers are fighting back,” energy expert Robert Bryce explained in a new short-form documentary titled “SUNBLOCK: The Global Fight To Save Farmland From Big Solar.”
