Solar-When and Where

Solar-When and Where

To the editor: It is imperative that we prioritize reliable energy sources when transitioning a service as important as the nation’s electrical grid. Research demonstrates the high environmental and economic costs of rushing the grid transition from affordable-reliable sources to expensive weather-dependent renewable alternatives. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Forum confusing

Forum confusing

To the editor: John Popa’s interview (forum) in the June 5th edition was a convoluted and confusing obfuscation of the fundamental question: “Will the county experience a reduction in its electric bill if a solar array is installed at the government center?” The fact that Michigan rates lower on the scale for optimum solar placement than a sun drenched state like Texas is irrelevant. There are thousands of solar installations in our state. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Township deserves better

Township deserves better

To the editor: As a Trustee of Leland Township, I am compelled to address the ongoing issues with our current Supervisor, Ms. Och. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Frightening

To the editor: Given today’s unjust lawfare, jailed political opponents, free speech censorship. and blatant lies, we should be much more concerned about Democrats than about Trump. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Service … priceless

Service … priceless

To the editor: Reflecting on some of the recent letters expressing opinions on our sheriffs’ recent meeting with President Trump, it is my sincere hope that despite any political differences, as a community we can all express our appreciation for the dedication to public safety and well being that our sheriff and his staff have demonstrated. In a time when cynicism and divisiveness pervade our politics and press, it is my hope that we can put any differences aside and recognize the public service Sheriff Borkovich and his staff provide us on a daily basis. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

Special birthday

Special birthday

To the editor: Thank you, everyone for all of the cards you sent me for my 95th birthday. They made my birthday extra special. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

Truth matters

To the editor: Barbara McQuade in her new book, “Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America” defines disinformation as the “deliberate use of lies to manipulate people, whether to extract profit or to advance a political agenda.” A recent letter to the Enterprise about a County “cultural survey” reinforces the relevance of McQuade’s quote. The “cultural survey” was not “largely the initiative” of Commissioner Ross. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

Food waste

To the editor: My last letter was about waste as the archvillain causing our environmental symptoms: extreme/temperatures, hurricanes, food shortages, tornado and health risks etc. We are facing global energy transition. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

Pattern of behavior

Pattern of behavior

To the editor: Having attended the May 13 Leland Township board meeting, I was disappointed to read the Enterprise’s reporting on the DNR dock removal in Leland. Per the story, a DNR proposal to swap park land, detailed in a letter addressed to Supervisor Och, “was not discussed by the Township Board.” The reason, unreported, is the board didn’t know the offer existed. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

A conflict

To the editor: An investigation is underway to determine whether the chair of a county energy task force violated the county conflict policy when he helped write and advocated for a grant that would pay him. Perhaps the chair, who is in the energy business, should not lead a county body in the same line of work. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

With thanks
