The first solar rep I met with indicated that they are not here (in Indiana) because of the sun -duh!. He said that they were trying to leverage IPL incentives, federal incentives and hoped to get as many state and local incentives as possible. I respected his honesty. He admitted to be what I like to call solar mercenaries. Apparently, there were not enough incentives. After a flurry of activity regarding 100-acre sites, nothing has happened. Though one guy I talked to on the phone said that there was no way 100-acre solar farm would work. He was looking at about 25 acres.Citizen Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083803017411939029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-6735758374469242362011-10-04T10:56:28.631-05:002011-10-04T10:56:28.631-05:00Yes, Paul, the federal government offers very generous tax credits for these &quot;green&quot; projects. My brother was thinking about sticking up one of those hugely expensive windmills on my dad&#39;s farm after learning how much money he could recoup through the federal tax credit program. Pat, You may want to inquire if this company is going to be forced to pay property taxes on this wind farm since those 60 acres are now being used exclusively for a for-profit, private venture.Gary R.

Now they are robbing us through electric rates.<br /><br />They don&#39;t want to charge the airlines the fees needed to cover the extravagance of the new airport. Make no mistake about it, the airport is draining tax coffers by diverting tax payments to other parts of government into lease payments made solely to the airport.<br /><br />The press should be camped out at the airport just to follow all of the money that is being lost to the rest of us.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-82895298183081288822011-10-04T10:01:46.771-05:002011-10-04T10:01:46.771-05:00&quot;will presumably rely on generous government tax credits&quot;<br /><br />Federal government tax credits?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365201409903003274noreply@blogger.com
