AI Briefing
- American farmers turn to solar to offset energy costs, but Trump administration's changes to rural energy incentives are causing projects to collapse, leaving developers out millions.
- Farmers and rural communities are being forced to scramble to find alternative energy sources after the federal government pulled the plug on its rural energy support program.
- The collapse of the program is expected to cost developers tens of millions of dollars, with some projects being shut down entirely before they can generate a single kilowatt of electricity.
