An NPR and FloodlightNews investigation found a GOP insider is spreading misinformation about solar's health and environmental risks, and her influence is continuing to grow.
Roger Houser's family has worked the land in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley for three generations. But it has been getting harder to make a living raising cattle there. So Houser was excited when a solar company showed up offering to lease his property. It would have been good money heading into retirement. But his hopes were dashed by a four-year battle against solar development in Page County.Roger Houser's ranching business was getting squeezed.
"The idea of being able to keep the land as one parcel and not have it split up was very attractive," Houser says."To have some passive income for retirement was good. And then the main thing was the electricity it would generate and the good it would do made it feel good all the way around."

U.S. Supreme Court cancels arguments in Republican bid to keep border expulsions(Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday canceled scheduled arguments in a case in which Republicans sought to keep in place a policy introduced under former President Donald Trump that has let American officials quickly expel hundreds of thousands of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The policy, known as Title 42, was implemented by Trump's administration in March 2020 - early in the COVID-19 pandemic - as a measure tied to a public health emergency. The justices removed it from their argument calendar after the Justice Department told them on Feb. 7 the case would become moot because Title 42 will expire in light of an announcement by President Joe Biden's administration that the recognition of a COVID-19 public health emergency will end effective May 11.
