panels last about 25 years at that point they only produce maybe 25% of original. Maintenance costs will be the thing especially if they have to contract outside BPU. disposal is as always an issue. Panels will start to degrade after about 3-5 years and lose about 1-5% a year after 5, depending on panel quality. At least the consumer stuff. The big rubs are installed, maintaining them, and then properly figuring out cost/benefit based on real degrasion numbers. Of the top, given the input from the state and the state law mandating renewable purchase from BPU..... I hate solar, but this is a W.
Kellerman had what seems to me to be the logical solution, retain.... Dave seemed to play it off, there is something there imo-dig. My guess is better everything can't be completed with and that's the real reason all these professionals are taking flight, they see their free reign is over so they'll go to a better place. That Dave never even tried to bribe them to stay seems, telling.
I talked to judge 3 years ago, this has been a deep issue for a long time. The commissioners have deeply failed and got big time distracted by ego and legacy and forgot duty and community. This will be part of the biggest shit sandwich the commission will ever eat, and I hope they ALL get voted out next time.... THEY HAVE FAILED, "47 votes is NOT a mandate".... you boinked the pooch with your vanity and ego.... Ding dong strikes the clock in town, ding dong.... time to pay the piper.
IMO a running line of "Greg's" dialog should be kept. He is a master at making his own statements seem ill thought out, which I'm not saying they are..... but he will later. Well put, if this place is so "perfect" why would anyone leave? If the city manager style is so effective why all the hand wringing and blame shifting, is not the manager boss of day to day? This is what happens when the same asses sit all the seats and just rotate..... DELUSIONS OF ONES OWN GRANDEUR. This is a tiny company town with almost no opportunity in the middle of no where with bad public schools.... We are poor, insular, and likely inbreed with all the focus on who is and isn't from here. This IS NOT a destination.... I've been trying for a decade to just get one of my buddies from other places to even think about a move.... They all just laugh.... and buy a house in a real community like Heartland, Rockford, Hasslet..... Elk Rapids... need I go on? This DELUSION that this is some great place died when tillable reached $5500 locally, period.
Solar panels given the state law and BPU's angles, and the grant are a good play. HOWEVER need to train up someone at BPU to maintain them.
