California will ALWAYS be the BEST.

CARB comes to mind. unelected, unfireable, protected by CA ruling party.....so they don't care that gas will go up 95 cents next year, according to latest UC study...... rhey are rich, so who cares that they are killing CA economy. welcome to the united states first third world economy state. once again, just my opinion.....

who does eliminating excessive govt bureacracies and non productive govt workers benefit?

only those who eschew govt nanny caretaking and don't depend on govt to live their lives for them. just my opinion

Ik Boots...but he does like shoving something in the face of authority and it would be great if he made the EPA allow bves to fire up the generators.

cricket- the prez elect could care less about us unless one of you have a couple billion dollars hiding in an account.

Airport Razz, I think we should send a letter to President Trump. He basically has not much use for those types of regulatory agencies, and I bet a home made pie he would MAKE THEM fire that puppy up so we have power.

Thanks Boots, I tied in with JoJo too...

To Razz: You coment about left hand/right hand was on point. As a former federal employee, I saw it all too often. Even since my retirement in 2002, I continue seeing it constantly in matters of which I have to continue dealing wih a federal agency.

Why not sell generators to Arizona?

EPA wont let BVES fire the thing up. The regulations changed while the thing was in construction and there was no grandfather clause. EPS saw fit for The Citizens of the Big Bear Valley to take it in the shorts once again. Seems to be a trend up here. BTW whos going to keep the snow off those solar panels?????

THEY FLATOUT LIED TO YOU

mountainart the sherriff and hospital had backup generators way before the electric company con jobbed the residents it serves no purpose and hasnt been used once.for critical buisness's.

Windy- this type of solar field does not endanger birds with heat- but possibly messes with their migration due to reflection. Research is still out on that. These panels generate very little heat- goes against their purpose, instead they convert solar energy into electricity. However there are many other legitimate issues with this particular site and migration interruption is just one of them!

hear-say

Trail- 400% is semi-heresay. The contractors for the project mentioned it to one of the folks at the first meeting. Probably wasn't supposed to be shared! :-)
