solar generation — not only with large, utility-scale projects like the one in Texas, but with smaller, locally managed solar farms.
This locally-managed effort has catapulted the Magnolia State, with its deep-red bona fides, into theof green energy generation. In fact, more than 500 rural co-ops in 43 states have started implementing solar power. With access to cheap land, plummeting costs for solar, and subsidized loans from the federal government to convert all of their electricity generation to renewable energy, this transition is accelerating.This shouldn't be surprising.
State lawmakers, of both parties, are finally starting to catch on. In Pennsylvania, for example, Republican lawmakers, with support from the state farm bureau, backed afor community solar. The legislation didn't quite make it to the governor's office, but momentum is growing. Rural co-ops have far less red tape than traditional utilities and grid operators, allowing them to move more quickly and at lower cost.
