Among desert habitats being destroyed, it will decrease the view of Sugar Bowl. Please find somewhere else to build this solar "farm". Our desert it NOT yours to turn into a wasteland!
I don't think so on property tax. It's a lease, not a transfer of title. Lease is less than 35 years, which triggers no change to property assessment.
Production taxes... maybe. Sales tax is negligible; only some equipment or partial equipment in certain circumstances can be charged sales tax, but I think there is another tax by a different name that could be captured.
The solar corporation is huffing and puffing,and threatening and bullying their way in. Disrupting and dsadvantaging environmentally healthy communities Is the worst of all possible solutions for needed solar energy. It sets "another precedent" -- exceeding the earlier precedent sit with the solar farms on Lear. Corporations salient motivation is profit. This corporation can and should go eastward.
Tyentynine Palms lands and environmently healthy thriving neighborhoods ought not to be displaced and disrupted. Take the solar project eastward; Sure there will be obstacles and more cost, But so be it.
The city ought not to roll over, or bow down to oowerful solar corporations.
I have thoroughly enjoyed walking my dog over and around the Sugar Bowl area. That will end if this project is completed. Now there's talk about dogs at the Twentynine Palms Farmer's Market... What's that about, What's going on there, have there been incidences or complaints? Dogs are our children.They are our families, They are ubiquitous wherever human beings dwell. There seems to be an absence of environmental concern for living things, Including plants that inhabit our earth. Seems like we're leaving our children an irreversible stagnant mess. "Come one, come all" Twentynine Palms is open for exploitation for those whom have the deepest pockets. I understand this is a rant -- but we need more rants concerning our splinterng natural resources and local environment.
Please check your math on the production payout expectation. One megawatt (MW) is made up of 1,000 kilowatts. SCE is paying $0.03365 per Kilowatt, not per watt. So the revenue would be 50,000 x $0.03365 = $1,682.50.
Edison will NOT be paying anywhere close to $1.6 Million per year!!

Sure!! Updated profile.
As of July 21st, 2024, AB-205 that the sleazy Solar corporation out of Vegas was threatening to weaponize against the good people of Twentynine Palms has been shelved - https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-lawmakers-backpedal-on-income-based-utility-charges-as-ious-oth/707859/
Maybe lawsuits toward the company for unethical business practices and public endangerment can be explored? Just a thought.
