The study also noted the majority of agricultural land near solar and wind farms remains in farming despite the expansion of renewable energy projects.

Have you noticed the northern lights have been traveling further south lately?

The report looks into areas that are suitable for solar projects, but also wouldn’t conflict with other natural elements.

New federal funding will allow for the development of low-income solar programs throughout the state.

As Indiana continues a shift to solar energy, one major group has been left out of many discussions of switching out farmland for solar panels; those who lease land to make a living.

The majority of Hoosiers in a 600-person oversample said they wanted Indiana to increase its use of wind (61%) and solar (71%) energy.

Though solar panels can last about 30 years, the U.S. doesn't have a cost-effective way of recycling them right now — which could lead to a lot of waste.

With approval from the state, CenterPoint Energy is subtracting the energy someone with solar panels uses from how much they produce almost in real-time, instead of monthly as it did before.

The project is part of the NAACP’s Power Up program, which aims to reduce the energy burden on Black, Brown, and lower-income communities.
