Ohio and Indiana are on the verge of solar farms

The greening of red-state America, well under way in the Sun Belt, is now accelerating in the Midwest. Ohio and Indiana, two Republican-led U.S. states that are long dependent on coal power, are on the verge of solar-farm booms so staggering that their respective build-outs may compete with Nevada s and trail only those of California and Texas.

In the two states, the developers are expected to install 15 gigawatts worth of new photovoltaic panels, enough to power about 12 million households. Even as Ohio has moved to slow, if not thwart renewable energy projects.

No Republican members of Congress voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, a group that includes hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives for clean energy, as well as a majority of members from Indiana and Ohio.
