(Partial) Announcement of April 1st panel discussion, 7pm in Forum 101, MJC's East Campus:

MID is considering contracting with SunPower Corporation to make a 25 megawatt solar panel project on 160 acres of land just north of Al's Furniture. The CEP Film and Lecture Series has arranged for several authoritative speakers to explain the project, and also describe another solar project proposed by another company (Sol Orchard) for the now-closed Geer Rd. Landfill.

    This is a great line up. Thanks Richard for putting this together and I apologize for not being able to offer more help. Possible questions for speakers:
    1) How would Prop 16 affect MID's ability to pursue future renewable energy projects?
    2) Has the City of Modesto considered alternative solar projects that do not require farmland, such as solar panels on resident homes or dairy shade structures?
    3) Has the City of Modesto considered the implementation of a property assessed clean energy (PACE) finance program to help residents pay for solar installations, as well as other green improvements on their homes?
