I have witnessed this first hand when they opened. Super busy. Right around dinner time. Group of 6 baby booming Kevin’s and Karen’s walk in and couldn’t get seated right away. Started talking down to the wait staff. Said they rather go somewhere else anyway and they are never coming back. Blah blah. Entitled turds. The food was excellent though. I have recommended it to several friends and family.

I know. So much potential there. I have seen a few shopping plazas in central Pa who have installed solar above their parking lot and there are probably tens of thousands of acres of rooftop that could be used. There just isn’t much incentive right now in PA. Hopefully that changes soon. 🤞🏻

The proposed bill caps these projects at 5MW each, and a project that size has a footprint of around 20-30 acres. That’s a small chunk of farmland to power around 800 homes. I think global warming and droughts pose more of a threat to our food chain, and you need one to fight the other. I agree that agriculture will take a hit, but you would be surprised how much acreage is out there that could support a project and is not agricultural. I try to look at all the pro’s and con’s, but I am pro solar so my opinion is somewhat biased.

Yea. That’s true. Rates are pretty average everywhere, but those people who have the opportunity to purchase power directly from a community solar program typically have a 15-20% rate reduction. The more projects that get built, the more people it will benefit.

Pa has a community solar bill that has been sitting in legislation for years, while most of the surrounding states have passed, or are close to passing theirs. If it passes people could potentially save upwards of 15-20% on their electricity bills when purchasing power directly from a project. Vote Vote Vote.
