Clean energy
To the editor: I wanted to thank the Leelanau County Energy Futures Task Force for working to bring clean energy to Leelanau County. I recently read a research paper prepared by Columbia University titled “Rebutting 33 False Claims about Solar, Wind and Electric Vehicles” that I found so helpful in understanding some of the misinformation presented on these topics. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Grant dollars
Grant dollars
To the editor: Contrary to rumors and candidate misrepresentations, the construction and administration of a solar project at the County Government Center would be paid for entirely through grant dollars. If the State awards Leelanau County a grant, the solar array could produce self-generated clean energy within a year and immediately bring cost savings of over $35,000 annually. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM
Solar boondoggle
Solar boondoggle
To the editor: Would you accept $1,000,000 from the government for solar panels, if you then had to spend your own money to buy a fleet of EVs, install charging stations, and pay for maintenance and disposal? This promise is part of the solar project for the government center supported by Ty Wessell. Besides questionable financial and environmental benefits of solar power, switching county vehicles to EV would likely cause the total project cost to surpass any savings over time. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM
