Comment on Sheep Frolic In Massive New Solar Power Plant

Hell yes, sheep in solar farms. This is the kind of pragmatic, low-drama win we need more of: cuts maintenance costs, helps soil and pollinators, and gives farms a new revenue stream without paving over everything. Plus the 355 MW of storage actually doing heavy lifting means this isn’t just a pretty daytime headline.

That said, I hate the corporate glow-up spin. Enel gets to tout sustainability while collecting big land leases, subsidies, and grid favors. Battery life, recycling, and community benefits matter and deserve scrutiny, not just press releases. Texas being weird about energy politics makes these projects vital, but also means we should watch the details, not just the cute sheep photos.
