In an article published by The Spirit of Jefferson, the focus is on the upcoming election for county commission candidates in Jefferson County, where voters have the opportunity to influence the future of industrial-scale solar development. With four out of five commission seats contested this fall, the article emphasizes the importance of candidates articulating their stance on the controversial issue of converting farmland into utility-scale solar facilities. While the article supports renewable energy initiatives, it advocates for more sustainable and community-friendly solar solutions rather than large-scale developments on untouched farmland.
