Sorry my friend. Took a second to get the pic uploaded.Who? And what?
Ah! Asked and answered. Thanks John.Southern Indiana Electric Utility Cooperative.
They've constructed a number of solar farms in recent years, two along I-65 between Columbus and Henryville.
I am not familiar with the named gentleman, but the solar farms are what the letter is referring to as 'carbon free'.
Pretty concerning.Dude lost my vote with "carbon free".
Waste of farm land as wellPretty concerning.
I've always thought those solar farms were a real waste of my cooperative money.
I was wondering that myself. Does it replace the wood-burning Internet?And how would fiber internet help accomplish this?
And how would fiber internet help accomplish that?
OH, IL, MI are deregulated.I don't use REMC's fiber Internet service. It sounded interesting for the years and years and years that they promoted they were building it, but when it become available, it was nowhere near competitive price wise.
It certainly makes one wonder that if there was competition for electricity service, how much more competitive the pricing might be? And maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't throw away our money on "solar farms"?

Sort of. There is the producer and there are resellers. You have to be really careful with the resellers.OH, IL, MI are deregulated.
Havn't seen a bit of a reduction in the billing for this "free power" either? Years after the equipment should have been paid for.Who are they hiring to install the solar? I’d bet a dime against a dollar says it’s an out of town outfit that will do nothing but take money out of the community and the state.
Our Coop is just now starting to get ready to build the internet lines into our area. I have been curious as to how they will be able to price it, we will wait and see i guess.I don't use REMC's fiber Internet service.

A lot of the power companies are actually leasing their panels on 5 year leases. Hard to pass on cost savings when there are none.Havn't seen a bit of a reduction in the billing for this "free power" either? Years after the equipment should have been paid for.
