To the editor: Local weather columnist Sammy Roth’s newest take a look at the conversion of farmland to photo voltaic and issues with the Williamson Act factors to how California has a number of the best attorneys within the nation (“California wants rather less farmland, much more solar energy,” July 24). They crafted the Williamson Act, which Roth’s earlier article on the topic confirmed to be largely ineffective and pointless. Now, they’re having hassle getting previous the adverse results the Williamson Act has on utilizing protected farmland for photo voltaic manufacturing. What a large number.
Photo voltaic, not like land conversion for housing and different makes use of, is non permanent, and the photo voltaic farms will be simply eliminated and recycled and the land put again into farming. Why not simply declare that photo voltaic farming is farming in order that the Williamson Act isn’t touched?
