To note a story related to the record-breaking rainfall there in Arkansas, a new #Solar farm to powera U.S. Steel's new green factory to produce non-grain oriented steel for EV engines in Mississippi County near Memphis and they're begging people to move there since the population has dropped so much over the last decade. https://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article/145164/327m-driver-solar-farm-going-in-alongside-big-river-steels-new-mill?module=Editors%27+Picks&page=Homepage&action=click

@GreenFire Interesting on the population loss. Lack of economic opportunity?

My rural red county here in Kentucky lost 10% of its population over the last decade too.
