Stop Solar Farms in McCook County SD

12/14/2024

Lies, deception, bankruptcy, health and environmental concerns- the same song and dance we’ve heard over and over with so much of these green energy solutions.

Not a single voice in our county has shown up in favor of solar, yet our commissioners had no drive to make changes to the ordinances or find solutions for those who dwell in this county.

Talk about a joke. 1 pm on 1-9-24 the amount of electricity drawn from solar in the entire miso grid was 843 MW. Check out the images below of what the miso grid covers, and what makes up the grid in real time. Thousands of acres are being taken out of production to generate very little- for a very small time during the day. 843 MW produced by tens of thousands of acres of solar panels. Inefficiency at its finest, a shame.

Change of date! Do not hesitate to reach out to your local commissioners with your concerns!

There Was a great turnout today at the conditional use hearing. The commissioners will vote on December 19th. Thank you to all who have supported this fight.

Keep solar panels off productive ag land!

Tomorrow morning, 11/16/23 at 9:00 am in Salem is the conditional use hearing for the large scale solar farm (730 acres) in McCook county. We fear the negative impact this will have on our county and our small communities. Please join us and spread the word. We need as many people there as possible to voice concerns. Please spread the word!

Solar does not fit in our comprehensive plan.

On Thursday, November 16th at 9 am at the McCook County Courthouse in Salem, SD, a decision will be made that could change our county forever. Instead of lush green crops growing during the summer, we will see a black sea of industrial panels for over 700 acres. This is just south of Canistota where many of you likely drive past every day. Although this is right outside of Canistota now, it could spread across our entire county rapidly, so please share the details of this hearing to others in McCook County. We need as many of you to show up as we can on Thursday in support of our small communities in this fight against industrial solar.
Won’t our beautiful “Welcome to Canistota” sign look inviting surrounded by solar panels?

The Board of Adjustment will hold a public hearing at 9:00 am, Thursday, November 16, 2023 in the McCook County courthouse in Salem to receive input concerning Grant Solar, LLC conditional use application for a large-scale 99 megawatt solar site in McCook County.

We urge you to spread the word to residents, landowners, business owners, farmers, and any and all shareholders in McCook County.

An industrial solar site could have major impacts to our county and small communities. The Grant Solar site phase 1 is around 800 acres. If this passes, solar sites will spread through our county, swallowing up thousands of acres of productive cropland. This will have devastating affects to our small communities. Solar belongs in deserts and on unproductive land!
