Farmers debate benefits of renewable energy
Spectrum News: Grant Goodrich, executive director of the Great Lakes Energy Institute, discussed solar fields in Ohio, saying: “If people look at a site that’s getting ready for solar development and they see a brown field, they see a garbage dump, they have a very positive association with putting solar on that site because from their perspective that site is being improved.”
Growth in solar power and other renewable energy sources has been slowed some by a lack of storage capacity, but researchers at Case Western Reserve University are exploring new large-scale battery solutions to that problem.
