DYK: Roughly 75% of the world’s crops depend on pollinators?🐝 They are economic powerhouses for our agricultural community. Our #solar projects emphasize the value of #pollinators from the soil to the sun with a commitment to responsible vegetation management.

When asked, “How important is it to you that the U.S. prioritize energy security and independence?” 69% of Virginians answered “very important” in a survey from Energy Right. We’re proud to be a part of Virginia's legacy as a leader in US #energy production. #EnergyRight

Solar of all sizes is continuing to be a powerhouse for American #energy production. New data from EIA shows that solar produced 7% of US electricity in the first 5 months of the year. ☀️ energycentral.com/c/gn/solar-was…
