The Issue

The Silicon Ranch solar project proposed in Stockton, Alabama, threatens the ecological integrity of the beloved Mobile Bay watershed. This region is among the most biologically rich and ecologically significant watersheds in the United States. It is home to a delicate network of waterways that nourish the Tensaw River Delta and flow into Mobile Bay, sustaining fisheries, wetlands, wildlife habitat, and countless local livelihoods that depend on its health and balance.

If implemented, this solar project could irreversibly disrupt the local ecosystem, pave over treasured farmland, and spread devastating consequences across the delicate wetlands. Both Stockton, known for its lush natural beauty and thriving community, and other localities could face dire environmental and communal impacts, threatening both biodiversity and cultural heritage.

State regulators have the power and responsibility to shield these precious lands and waters from lasting harm. By redirecting efforts away from this sweeping industrial encroachment, they champion the protection of invaluable natural resources and the wellbeing of human communities.

We earnestly urge the Alabama state regulators to block this project and seek viable alternatives that honor the environment and sustain local traditions. By fostering small-scale, appropriately sited renewable energy initiatives, Alabama can progress responsibly and sustainably.

Join us in defending our cherished watershed and community from unnecessary threats. Sign the petition to halt the Silicon Ranch solar project, advocating for thoughtful, environmentally considerate development that respects our unique regional heritage.
