This is about converting our rural lands into industrialized wasteland via wind and solar. It is already happening in Somerset and Kent counties where "farmers" are leasing vast amounts of their real estate to renewable developers. Solar and wind are not feasible and only exist because of government policies. A few benefit while the rest of us pay dearly. Get the facts it is not good for the host communities and energy costs rise.

Elitists at work here doing what is best for you,just pay the bill.
ReplyDeleteBe very leery of this outfit. It has been created to convert rural lands into vast solar fields. Utility scale solar has been an economic and environmental disaster in the Mohave Desert where there is no environmental value and no people. Please look at the 3 utility scale projects there. PV solar like Desert Sunlight is what is planned for Wicomico and Dorchester. This will lower property values and destroy its rural character. The panels will produce only 15% of the time, and 20% of that will be lost in transport.
ReplyDeleteThe approval process is rigged so you have to stop it early. Hopefully, you have people in charge who are smarter than the Somerset clan.
Please keep this post at the top, so residents have a warning of what is to come.
ReplyDeleteRenewable Energy benefactors stop at nothing. The first developer rep in Somerset was a Private Investigator who struck gold and now officials work for them instead of the people who voted them in office.
ReplyDeletePoor Josh, he knocked on my door and told me he was a Republican. When I started asking him questions he said he had to go pick up his girlfriend in Tilghman Island. Since then I have found out he isn't a Republican and he doesn't date girls.
