Puerto Rico's government is being sued by environmental groups and activists over the planned location of multiple renewable energy projects.
The groups requested that a judge prohibit various local government agencies from approving projects on such lands, noting that they should instead be built on roofs, parking lots, landfills in disuse and previously contaminated grounds.
"The loss of prime agricultural land to install solar projects of an industrial magnitude is a serious attack on the food security of Puerto Rico, which is already in precarious condition," said David Sotomayor, a soils professor at the University of Puerto Rico.
