Episode Details

Kentucky sheep farmer Daniel Bells rooftop solar plans for a new barn were dashed by federal cuts, leaving him and other farmers without cash for renewables. The Trump administrations rollback of clean energy tax credits and halting of REAP grants have forced commercial solar projects to rush or face extinction. Farmers on tight budgets feel the pinch, with energy bills eating profits. Some have turned to temporary solar barns, while others have endured frozen grants and anxious reapplications. Nearly three hundred developers have been hit hard, with some ditching projects and others racing ahead. The shifts favor giants over small timers, as rural solar hangs in limbo without steady federal backing.
