Isn't Jim Ireton and Josh Hastings big on the Climate control?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't ALL these anti coal and electric moron not have cars, homes with Ac and heat, cells powered by electric, clothing made with electricity and walk around NAKED so we know who they are ?????? Hypocrites,
ReplyDeleteWarmest year on record.
ReplyDeleteMore Kennedy trash, at least its getting better not having to hear about a POS Kennedy in the news all the time

ReplyDeleteHe is a well heeled, well schooled moron, with apologies to morons. Filled with more hot air than a balloon.
Because of his serial adultery, his first wife committed suicide. Just recently married his actress girl friend, who is nowhere are attractive as the reporter in this clip.
Worthless rich kid! (and there is no shame in prospering from your own labors).
I belive coal polutes the air ,what I can't belive is that they can't find a way to burn it so that it doesn't polute.
ReplyDeleteSure 3:08 they have heat and AC. Your an idiot.

Governments wise to pursue wind, solar
SBY 6:39 p.m. EDT September 18, 2014
Yes, there are skeptics about climate change — its existence and its impact.
Yes, there are large swaths of our country that owe their local economic base to fossil fuels including coal and oil.
And, yes, every form of alternative energy, including wind and solar, comes with a certain amount of uncertainty and local concerns.
Nonetheless, the train carrying new forms of energy has left the station, in the United States and worldwide. If you look at a country such as Germany, alternative forms of energy are approaching 30 percent of energy consumption. Needless to say, the German economy is one of the world’s strongest, so that push is being made there not simply by fuzzy “green” activists but by cold-eyed practical business leaders.
When it comes to energy and technology, change is the norm when you look at it historically. Generally, when progress is in the works, it’s best to be out in front of it than to lag behind.
That’s why the Salisbury City Council deserves kudos for considering wind power and solar energy in the rebuilding of the wastewater treatment plant. Similarly, the Wicomico County Department of Public Works deserves praise for its plans to generate significant amounts of solar power at two locations. The county’s plan may lead to all county government electricity coming from solar panels, with the power costing only one-half what it does now.
In Salisbury’s case, Mayor Jim Ireton expects wind and/or solar power to offset electricity costs as the wastewater plant is rebuilt. The mayor sees the potential for job creation, while council members are eyeing both positive financial and environmental impacts.
Says Council President Jacob Day: “In principle, there’s the potential for both saving tax dollars and achieving a more environmentally sustainable and progressive energy source for the city.”
Energy adaptation is much like how we’ve adapted to new telephone technology in the past 25 years. In the 1980s, many of us used rotary dial telephones. These gave way to smaller, push-button models, then portable models and eventually cell phones and now smartphones. And smartphones themselves are morphing into “phablets” as their screen and functionality gets larger.
No one today would want to still be using a rotary dial telephone. In the energy field, older means of production won’t go away completely, but a blend of traditional and alternative sources may indeed serve both the environment and our wallets the best.
IN SUMMATION
As Salisbury and Wicomico County move forward with integrating wind and/or solar into upcoming projects, the potential exists to help the environment and save money.

Josh Hastings to speak on climate change
CHESTERTOWN — In conjunction with a series of speakers focusing on environmental issues facing the Eastern Shore, Josh Hastings of the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy will be the featured speaker at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, in the second floor meeting room of Town Hall. He will speak on “Planning for Resilience and Prosperity in the Face of Climate Change.”
A native of the Eastern Shore, Hastings brings a unique perspective to his presentation — that of a local resident and a student of public policy. As ESLC policy manager, Hastings is involved in monitoring land use issues at the local, state and federal level.
The public is invited to attend and participate in this discussion sponsored by the Democratic Club of Kent County.

You don't make sense.
Who cares about climate change?Let me guess,a bunch of people who can't do anything about it.I live in Salisbury.If the day ever comes when I look out my door and the ocean is in my yard THEN I will be concerned.
ReplyDeleteReading these articles posted clearly ties Josh Hastings to Jim Ireton and the Democrat party. Josh needs to quit lying and admit he is a Democrat with some twisted view. These are definitely a view from a moderate or an independent.
