"CHANGES IN LATITUDES CHANGES IN ATTITUDES" jimmy buffit

"Changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same, with all of our running and all of our cunning"

Three guesses on who is presently running around the state trying to get cities talked into purchasing solar power from them?

You guessed it! our snake-oil salesmen from AMP-OHIO

The headline in the Jackson Times-Journal pretty much sums it up.

Jackson City Council unimpressed with proposed solar field

This council that had been through the Meigs County and Prairie State debacle seemed more than hesitant to get involved in a solar deal with AMP-OHIO.

One council member asked why AMP's solar power cost's double the current price for solar power? That ones simple it's AMP-OHIO!

Craig Kleinhenz  the manager of power supply planning for AMP made the presentation, with Kleinhenz doing all the talking.

Council-At-Large member, Eric Brown, had numerous questions and comments for Kleinhenz, the biggest of which was why he and other council members would want to get involved in a project that would cost them 60 percent  more than they are currently paying on the open market for power?

This council didn't bring it up for a vote.

Mr. Kleinhenz  claimed 20  other AMP communities are interested in this project. We can only pray we aren't on his list.

Great to see AMP-OHIO going green but why the high cost?  Seems as if the solar panel field as well as the Hydro projects have two thing in common, high costs and transmission costs?

There is a Reserve on the Building.

Has the price ever been realistic on this building? First it was placed on an empty city lot. Rite-Aid Corp. paid for the building and the move, so why is it the price always seem so astronomical? Plus the fact it was used as a funeral home for many years. Another example of "Beachwood ala Painesville." What I never expected it to sit empty all these years over what... greed?

I also understand we are only [3] grand openings from being Guinness record holders! Seems to becoming a yearly thing.
