Many Venango Township residents are breathing a sigh of relief after supervisors unanimously rejected a proposed project they feared would redefine their community.

That project was a 900-acre, 80 mega-watt solar farm that would include about 300,000 solar panels in Wattsburg.

“I’ve heard it referred to as a six-month nightmare, but we needed that time for them to become educated about the process and to come together as a community. Ultimately, we got the outcome that we wanted,” said Bruce Whitehair, Venango Township resident.

Throughout those six months, township supervisors have known where the community has stood. Around 300 signs saying “no solar farm” were put up throughout the township by taxpayers.

[This is a couple weeks old, but it sure is illustrating a trend I believe has renewable advocates quite concerned about. No wonder they want to censor the flow of information One after another, even rural communities are successfully fighting off what had looked to be inevitable takeovers of their land by climate cult driven mandates. The more word gets out it CAN be done, the more the resistance will grow. ~ Beege]
