I had a very depressing conversation with a lady representing the "Growing Green Conference" that they are touting to be here in Aransas Pass on the 24th and 25th of Feb. I asked, "Is this a participatory gathering or do we just listen to someone blow smoke up our collective skirts?" The answer was, we just listen. Then I asked would there be a charge? I was told "$99." To which I replied, "Just for the big business types, huh?" No average citizen has $99 to blow on listening to a bunch of Bloviating.
Since I am into wind and solar energy production I thought this might be something very useful, but it appears it is not for us little guys, its just a conference financed by our tax money to allow various municipal, county, state officials to spend MORE of our tax money on junkets to the coast. Maybe we could call that "Stimulus"?
I recently saw the effects of the new wind farm north of corpus, at least I suspect that is what sparked the change in the law. It used to be that small wind generation plants could dump their excess into the grid and be ASSURED that they would be paid for it. The law changed, now you may not get paid for it. Yes, you can still dump it in there but they dont have to pay you for it anymore.
The little guy, the tax payer, is being cut out again and they dont make any bones about it when they charge $99 to attend a speech, and pick up some brochures. AND they are using OUR money to finance it. This is being financed by grant money (more of our taxes) just to propagandize the population.
