Livermore Community Solar Farm Project

This would very likely kill our solar project. Under our lease agreement and with the county was that property tax was the wrong place to place tax as the property value is unchanged and actually reduced as the land is changed and not as valued prior to construction involved. The tax should be placed squarely on the company’s providing and selling the power, not the land owner. If this initiative passes, it would break our terms of lease, and have further repercussions on agriculture and farmers.

Word has it, that our permit from Alameda county was approved today.

Are we at risk?

Morning! Part of my goal over the next month or so, is to annoy as many people as possible. Actually, that's not really my goal. My goal, is to remind as many p...eople as possible that my foundation is once again in the process of awarding another tranche of Work Ethic Scholarships - a relatively noble undertaking that requires me to give away half-a-million dollars or so in scholarships for aspiring tradespeople. In the course of doing this, I fully expect to annoy a certain number of people who would prefer I stop beating a dead horse, and stop using words like "tranche." So, with their sensitivities in mind, I'm going to try to incorporate into my onslaught of weekly reminders, a series of links to other articles and videos produced by other people who share my agenda - people who have graciously attempted to remind you of the same thing I'm reminding you of by linking to their reminders about what I’m doing. Reminders like this, for instance...
