(Gateway Pundit) In a devastating blow to the Democrat’s Green New Deal agenda, the solar panel farm at Lake Placid, Florida, was ripped apart by Hurricane Milton, exposing the inherent vulnerabilities of relying on so-called “green energy.”
The 380-acre Lake Placid Solar Power Plant, was meant to symbolize the future of energy, but after Hurricane Milton’s landfall, it now stands as a symbol of the failures of environmental utopianism.
The 45-megawatt (MW) plant consists of approximately 180,000 tracking solar panels.
This solar facility, touted for its ability to power over 12,000 homes at peak production, was ravaged by the storm’s extreme conditions.
Now, viral footage shows the mangled array of panels, symbolizing both the fragility and limitations of a “renewable-only” energy approach in high-stakes weather events.

According to Duke Energy:
Duke Energy, responsible for maintaining the solar plant, admitted that restoration efforts will be long and difficult, with nearly 43,000 customers out of 60,000 customers are still without power in the aftermath of the storm, according to Energy Central.
