Ohio is poised to block a 94-MW solar farm because of local pushback — even though a substantial number of public comments opposing the installation appear to be fabricated.

@kmkowalski.bsky.social investigates:

Are faked public comments about to tank an Ohio solar farm?
Dozens of public comments opposing the $98 million Crossroads Solar project appear to be fabricated. Ohio’s siting board may block the project anyway.

Regulatory staff flip-flop, faked comments & other evidence in Ohio's Crossroads Solar case raise big questions about whether local government opposition to renewable energy should trump statewide needs and benefits.

Are solar farms in Ohio being denied due to faked local opposition? @canarymedia.com's Kathianne Kowalski does the work of checking the names and addresses — and it sure looks like there are a lot of fabricated "local" opponents to it:

This heat pump-boosting federal grant was spared the Trump administration’s wrath, and now it’s going to help Denver-area homes decarbonize.
Colorado group looks to boost heat pumps with $200M federal grant
It’s a rare example of a Biden-era climate grant moving forward under Trump — and could grow heat pump adoption across the Denver area.

These Colorado utilities are fighting a Trump administration order forcing a coal plant to stay open, saying it’ll saddle customers with millions of dollars in unnecessary costs.
Colorado co-ops to Trump: Let us close our aging coal plant
Tri-State and Platte River become the first utilities to challenge Trump’s emergency stay-open orders for coal plants, citing the cost to customers.

Iowa is a wind power leader. But a new project is hard to come by these days as federal tax credit cuts, community opposition, and permitting slowdowns all pile up.
