It seems Nelson energy policy goes back to the mayor having met Nelson's own climate scientist. Didn't know we had one did you, mayor Kozak appears to have become a disciple. It was he who introduced the mayor to his colleagues in Europe at the ALP-S energy institute. This resulted in a trip by our ex mayor, mayor Kozak, Alex Love of Nelson hydro and others to Europe. They came back with visions of solar panels dancing in their heads.
Now we all know Germany has become the "golden child" in the world for solar power. google
'german solar failure'. Its turning out to be the biggest mistake they have made.
The european trip resulted in those people coming to Nelson to "partner" in some climate initiatives.
The mayor said she was going to write a report about the trip, I have never seen it, I did ask the mayor twice for this, no reply.
Mr. Love has returned again to Europe for unknown to me reasons for city business.
There is a Municipal charter, a mandate for municipal utilities like Nelson hydro, to do what is best for
the residents. Do trips to Europe need to be made?
The APEGBC have a code of ethics, this project looks like its stepping ALL over the above.
I have asked Mr. Love many questions, he won't answer, he has blocked my emails to all staff his consultant whom I have sent information to, saying I am wasting his and his staffs time.
The above sunchart shows sun position for Nelson annually. See the chart upper right.
Notice line 7, minimal sunhours and low angle sun for December, mother nature controls this, solar when we need it in winter is next to useless. The only power in the sun is above line 4, about April through August, when our dam makes all our own power, and has excess to sell that isn't always sold. If we are letting clean green water just flow over the dam unused, wouldn't that make this solar power worthless?
Apparently we can buy some "Bullfrog" power. They sell green power, they gave Nelson either $15 or $25,000 for the rights to sell our 61MWh(unlikely) to other "green" people for a premium so they can
feel green. It has been written, that is like selling tap water for bottled water prices. Problem is our green solar power won't even likely enter the power grid, its phoney non existant green power!
Bullfrog power, a Bay Street boys scheme playing the stupid people, not unlike those phoney charities with the sound alike names of legitimate charities. Except 90% goes to the execs and maybe 10% to the charity.
Can I buy some dirty cheap power somewhere? Made from burning painted wood or tires and other contaminants. I can't afford this greenwashing.
