Clifford Township is in rural northeast Pennsylvania near the New York line. Winters here are long and Spring and Fall are full of overcast days. Clifford also sits right on top of the Marcellus Shale making it part of Pennsylvania’s natural gas heartland. This is, in short one, of the last places on the planet anyone would build a solar farm.

Yet, they are, and you are paying for it.

Susquehanna Solar proposes to build a 185-acre solar farm in Clifford Township between State Routes 106 and 2014. The land was up until fairly recently a farm raising American Bison. If Susquehanna Solar gets its way, the land will soon be covered in solar panels.

Susquehanna Solar is just one of the companies building solar farms all across Pennsylvania. Even as President Trump exhorts the fossil fuel industry to “drill baby drill” and talks of Biden’s “Green New Scam,” the provisions of this scam, officially called the Inflation Reduction Act, remain in place. The federal government continues to push economically non-viable “green” energy projects nationwide.
