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.
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.
