       STOP INSTALLING CHINESE SOLAR PANELS ON AMERICAN FARMLAND

  (Mrs. MILLER of Illinois asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, as a family farmer, I am very 
concerned with America's prime farmland being covered with taxpayer-
subsidized solar panel installations.
  Food security is national security, and if we cover our farm ground 
with Chinese solar panels, we will become dependent on foreign 
adversaries for food.
  According to the EPA, solar panels contain hazardous waste that can 
be harmful to human health. That is why we should be alarmed by the 
increasing number of solar panels being installed on our most fertile 
farmland, especially when the Federal Government is handing out tax 
credits for it.
  Today, I reintroduced the No Solar Panels on Fertile Farmland Act to 
stop Federal Government tax incentives for installing Chinese solar 
panels on American farmland.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage all of my colleagues to cosponsor this 
important legislation and put an end to the left's green bad deal that 
puts fake environmental goals over food security.
