One thought on “HMB Electrification Ordinance 1st Reading Passes 4-1; Rarback Wants Greenhouses Included”

  1. Why are we going to all electric when the entire state is stressed on the current electrical grid that we have? Gas Burns cleaner than coal, doesn’t it?

    And why aren’t we making all electric vehicle car owners install solar panels on their roof instead of taking the electricity off our grid?

    Going all electric makes no sense when you’re forcing the hand of the citizens who are ignorant or uneducated to where their electricity actually comes from.

    Sounds like Ruddock got it right the first time in second guessing this ordinance. Harvey is spot on about greenhouses (especially blacking them out…..ahhem, Rocket Farms!) but again, solar panels is the way to go if we’re talking about using electrical. Cole is not resourceful, the sun is.
