It’s been almost three years since a proposed solar park in Linn County met fierce pushback from local residents and farmers.

Now, after a long lull, there are signs the plan to install solar panels across more than a thousand acres of prime farmland could take shape.

There’s still no application, but recent meetings with energy regulators suggest the developers intend to move forward before their May 19 deadline.

With the Iran war entering a third week and the price of oil reaching nearly $105 a barrel on Monday, President Trump again urged NATO, China and other nations to help the U.S. secure the vital Strait of Hormuz.

On Saturday, Trump had called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and others to send warships to the key shipping route, which Iran has been blocking since the war and where about a fifth of the world's oil supplies typically pass through.

None of the countries have publicly committed to Trump's request — with some rejecting it outright — after the president upped the ante in an interview with the Financial Times late Sunday, saying their failure to do so would "be very bad for the future of NATO."
