Republicans Work To End Taxpayer Funded Green Energy Boondoggles On Farmland

House Republicans are seeking to prevent the use of taxpayer dollars to incentivize what they describe as "green energy boondoggles" on agricultural lands, citing subsidies that could cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. [emphasis, links added]

Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., is introducing legislation on Thursday, shared first with Fox News Digital, to end federal funding of renewable subsidies for wind and solar development on agricultural lands.

The bill, titled the Future Agriculture Retention and Management (FARM) Act, would not prevent developers from building wind turbines or solar panels but rather end the use of federal funds to encourage such projects.

"Taxpayer dollars shouldn't be used to sacrifice farmland for green energy boondoggles," Tiffany told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The FARM Act ends corporate welfare for unreliable energy sources and ensures agricultural land is protected for future generations."

Trump and America just keep winning!
