Geothermal Project for Lockwood?

It has been below freezing nearly every day since Christmas. Now a notion of how to beat the high cost of heating (both air and water) comes to mind in the potential resource beneath our feet.

Is it there to be had? Will government pay to find out? How do we get it? Who will own it? How will the energy be distributed? What are the costs involved? Is it better to "take the bull by its horns" now, or wait for entrenched utility interests to take (away) the initiative? What is a logical first step?

Whatever it is, it will take money. The internet has begun to nurture hundreds of good ideas that are intended to work our economy out of its recent malady. One local attempt is underway to raise initial start up monies. You can read of this here.

Black Rock Solar heard from

 Jessica has left a new comment on your post "Black Rock Solar at Hillside School/Peri Park": Hi Tim, Jessica here from Black Rock Solar. This project is being built for Hillside Elementary. We're installing over 50 kilowatts of solar to help them lower their utility bills. I'd be happy to keep you up to date on the project. We're hoping to have a little holiday event too. Please get in touch if you want more information! http://blackrocksolar.org/contact/

Question for CGID

What the heck is this?

Canyon General Improvement District workmen are seen installing a valve and line to the rear of their yard along Canyon Way. One guy works while two supervise (actually two others were supervising but not shown in this photo).

Black Rock Solar at Hillside School/Peri Park

Without published public disclosure, Black Rock Solar, a spin off of Burning Man, has begun installation of photo-voltaic arrays in the area of Louise Peri Park formerly designated as a community dog park. Black Rock Solar is known throughout Northern Nevada for these installations that have proven to be considerable cost savings to school districts involved. One wonders who will own the installation and be responsible for the upkeep. Kudos given whomever was vanguard towards realizing the greening improvement to the community. Also noted near this site is a chain link fence installation with large gate; preventing access to the road that leads to the water tower on the hillside. Looks expensive. Who paid for this construct; CGID or county? Why are most the streetlights on Peri Ranch Road burnt out with winter upon us? Photos were taken November 13th, about 10am.

LCC shenanigans again?

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "BS Splits Wins in LCC Election": 

I would like to let you know that the LCC board is trying to steal my deceased Mother's mobile home, by eviction. They are saying lack of occupancy by a dead woman is reason for eviction. Both the title and membership carry her name.
The board was notified and the home has been for sale for three years. The LCC has made no offer on it. 
Don't really care at this point if I'm suing myself. The LCC board is out of control and violating many laws. See you in court.
