Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

Farmers have face a conundrum in recent years: They want to make extra money by leasing portions of their land for large-scale renewable energy projects but neighbors fear that farmland is being traded for energy development. But what if there was another way? Enter agrivoltaics.
