Huntington County Proposed Solar Farm At Center Of Discussion

HUNTINGTON COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) — After eight months of discussions, the Huntington County Solar Advisory Group presented proposed standards for a new solar ordinance.

The group was formed after a moratorium on the 3,419-acre Paddlefish solar project, and aims to balance the interests of supporters and opponents.

Common ground was found on issues like visual buffers, glare reduction, and vibration-free land.

Final recommendations are due by April 4, with a draft ordinance set for a vote on June 2.

25% sunshine in NE Indiana March 20, 2025 at 5:04 pm

Solar is stupid in NE Indiana with only ~25% sunny days in any given year.

Either way, Better hope a Hail storm doesn’t come through, destroying the solar panels and leaching all them toxic chemicals into the Ground Water like what happened in Texas

We need to have corn and beans on our farmland, not solar panels.
