Fox News recently published an article highlighting Congressman Matt Rosendale's criticisms of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) updated Western Solar Plan. The plan intends to allocate 31 million acres across 11 states for solar field development.
The article includes concerns from Rosendale regarding potential violations of the Taylor Grazing Act, which governs grazing on public lands. He also raised issues about the energy's reliability and transmission distances. "It is not a consistent, reliable, affordable source of energy," Rosendale stated about solar energy. He added, "You're paying more for your energy that's being produced from these sources and you're being taxed heavier because of trying to subsidize it, make it work."
