Fox News published an article titled, “BLM’s Western Solar Plan is ‘fantasy world,’ relies heavily on taxpayer dollars: GOP congressman” detailing Congressman Matt Rosendale’s disagreements with Bureau of Land Management’s updated Western Solar Plan, which aims to restrict 31 million acres of land across 11 states for the development of solar fields.
The article states:
“Rosendale said he is concerned that the Western Solar Plan violates the Taylor Grazing Act, which regulates grazing on public lands, and will produce intermittent energy in places where it will still need to be transmitted hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of miles before it can be used.
"It is not a consistent, reliable, affordable source of energy," the congressman said of solar energy.
"You're paying more for your energy that's being produced from these sources and you're being taxed heavier because of trying to subsidize it, make it work," he said.”
