As Donald Trump voices opposition to renewable energy, solar power is increasingly marketed as a symbol of American energy dominance. Seamus Fitzgerald, a solar energy developer, shares that many landowners are initially skeptical about leasing their land for solar projects. However, Fitzgerald successfully convinces them by emphasizing the higher financial returns compared to traditional crops. Moreover, the Solar Energy Industries Association aligns its messaging with the current administration, promoting solar energy as an American resource, reflecting a growing acceptance of renewables in the energy landscape.
"At the end of the day, the financial payments from these types of projects are generally higher than what folks can pull off of their ground through other types of crops."
"When you install a solar project, you're collecting an American resource here in America."
