ALEX FASULO: When the panels aren’t useful in 10-years (it’s actually sooner than that in a commercial arrangement), why do these companies need the land for another 3 decades?

These final permits are SELLABLE ASSETS. The permits run with the land. The companies will sell, transfer, and dissolve the LLCs they made for these projects… many times before there’s ever a shovel in the ground.

Who is she?

Alexandra Fasulo (also known as Alex Fasulo).  She’s a farmer, activist, and founder/president of the American Land Rescue Fund, focused on opposing large-scale solar/wind projects (especially foreign-owned ones) on U.S. farmland in New York and elsewhere. She frequently discusses topics like ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting) permits, regulatory issues, data centers, and what she calls the “Trojan horse” pipeline of renewables leading to industrial development. 

She writes,

These final permits are SELLABLE ASSETS. The permits run with the land. The companies will sell, transfer, and dissolve the LLCs they made for these projects . . . many times before there’s ever a shovel in the ground. ORES awards final permits 100% of the time, regardless of expert testimony, environmental studies, public comments, and letters from town officials. This is known as regulatory capture. ORES is captured by the industry it claims to regulate. Why does ORES issue final permits 100% of the time? That’s the deal they’ve struck with these foreign renewable developers. The contracts the landowners signed are for 35+ years. When the panels aren’t useful in 10-years (it’s actually sooner than that in a commercial arrangement), why do these companies need the land for another 3 decades? What comes after the solar panels? Look this up! It’s happening nationwide.
