Public money in Nelson for yet another solar power system

.  One more example of wasting public money on solar power for the misguided and misinformed, but this involved professional people who should know better?   In my experience professionals know nothing about solar except the same propaganda everyone else gets from the sustainable green misguided and misinformed.
This is the Nelson skatepark washroom solar power system, you can read the story at the link.

On the roof are two engineers and a technologist, one engineer a past city councilor.

This had a lot to do with grant money and volunteers,  I have heard rumors of from over $50,000 up to even $150,000.

The solar panel was provided and installed by our local solar company, the same engineer that applied for and installed the now missing LiveSmart BC  grant solar system, $25,000 public money, they sold the system after 20 months and kept the money.

This solar panel is under the trees and sees very little sunlight, the washroom a fairweather seasonal washroom.  Its locked at dusk and winterized and closed.

This is the kind of spending this city taxpayer doesn't understand how this can happen with apparent intelligent minds involved, but it keeps happening over and over.

This solar is to power lights and hot water, reading the meter, it hasn't made enough power that a mouse could wash its feet.

This is a seasonal washroom, closed at locked at dusk by the city workers and closed for the winter.  We could have had a seasonal washroom in all of our parks for the cost of this misguided project.
