\r\nWhat say we call off the pipeline and deploy clean, safe, affordable\r\n\r\nsolar power<\/a> instead, for jobs, power, and lower electric bills right\r\nhere where we need them?\r\nAfter all,\r\n\r\nSabal Trail’s own figures show<\/a>\r\nit would take half the land of that pipeline to produce just as much solar power.\r\n
