The BC Solar Scam

More DECEPTION AND MISINFORMATION The phony Balfour Golf Club House solar System grant and deceptive on line public data information. All solar systems from public grant applications I am aware of are about dishonorable  ethics, dishonesty, misinformation and deception.     In opinion done willfully and knowingly, the definition of fraud. Much of this is just a repeat of the Balfour Community Hall Scam b y the same company same story.   Balfour Golf Clubhouse Solar system Scam                                 Balfour Golf Club House Solar System The Nelson hydro states a 25kW maximum, installed is 40.3kW but the online info shows 24.8kW. Very clever of Dandelion Renewables, the Alberta company that told the RDCK what they wanted to hear and won the bid.   The losing Alberta bidder showed a system less than 25kW with the statement "in order to meet the...

Mother Nature's Cycle Repeats and your electric bill pays for a project, the result of a phony engineers report showing a business case for the Community Solar Garden              Above is a typical year of Kootenay Lake level, spring runoff has begun once again. Spring runoff refills Kootenay Lake, Duncan Lake and Lake Koocanusa (Libby Dam) storing over 6 million acre feet of water our winter batteries.  Power for millions of homes that all begins to draw down as shown above at the beginning of the year. Spring runoff has begun, reservoirs are filling, dams overflowing, floods occurring, the sun has finally come out and begun to make solar power we don't need it now we can't even use all the water,  solar power that has the same value as the water spilling  $$ZERO$$.  $0.  Nada., nothing. Zip!  In winter when we could use the solar power the solar garden made enough power for little more than on...

                       ARE YOU STILL READING? Suggested reading  Real Engineering Report of Solar  Suggested viewing    "Planet of the Humans" This is about the Balfour Seniors Center Solar System from Public grant money. (there is the Balfour community hall and golf clubhouse also) Public grant money benefiting no one except a small reduction in the buildings electric bills.  The money could go to real society needs instead of this misguided fantasy.. The Alberta salesmen did a number on the RDCK.  Why is the system making 25% less power than elsewhere?  There are many possibilities.  Underperforming panels brought from Alberta, who is going to know?  Less than adequate inverters not making use of all the power as seen below.  At least the on line public data represents what is installed.  The community hall and golf clubhouse systems are both fiddled with to make t...

                              PREMEDITATED  PUBLIC DECEPTION or just plain  FRAUD! All  applications and engineering I have reviewed for solar power systems are dishonest.   There is always a professional consultant willing to step on their ethics and provide a phony report or write a letter of support providing credibility to pad a  grant application. In the case of the Balfour public solar grants, the Pembina Institute was involved.   This blog is about the Balfour Community Hall.  A grant application showing a positive economic return was necessary was created.  And the on line public data is phony.  There is no accountability. Nothing has changed although I have pointed this out to any and all involved.   The deception continues. I would recommend reading  THE REAL ECONOMICS OF SOLAR     RDCK wastes Public money part 1 Pa...

                                          GRANT ELIGIBILITY SCAM Like every solar project grant application I have seen, a fantasy created to meet the eligibility.  Or in the case of the Nelson solar garden if you have read my previous (recommended before reading any of this) info, unethical engineers report designed to provide a business case.  Presented to Nelson city council by their expert, Alex Love, manager of Nelson hydro.  The biggest piece of engineering garbage I have seen yet regarding a solar project.  Accountability - none. Everything I have posted is old news, I have presented all of this to the previous mayor and council present mayor and council,  RDCK directors more than once or several times to director Faust and Newell. Nothing changed! This is just another kick at the can, now that I see this new facebook page for ratepayers,...

                   GRANTS DON'T MAKE UNAFFORDABLE PROJECTS AFFORDABLE IT JUST                                                                CHANGES  WHO PAYS                     Grant money is not free.   I am trying to stop the bleed of public money into something that can't work for us. Suggested reading  "The Real Engineering Report on solar in BC" There are so many things wrong with the RDCK/Balfour Rec. Commission solar system info I will have to do this in multi-part or your eyes will just glaze over.  Balfour Rec Commission received grant money to instal three solar systems,  the Golf Clubhouse Community Hall and Seniors Center. Some background on what solar systems do for us here in the...

This article is not about solar but more about professional ethics, dishonesty, public deception and accountability........there is NONE> I complained to the Professional engineers Society of BC, mayor council and many others.  So far, any eco website or green related media block, deny, and disallow my comments and information, they have an agenda, its not about public money and economics.  As long as this continues our public pockets will continue to be picked for this waste of public dollars. Update 9/2020  The Nelson hydro manager, engineer who brought a  phony engineering report to city council showing them the Community Solar Garden  had a business case has left,  unaccountable  for his dishonesty and disrespect to his professonal ethics, his mayor and council, the city taxpayers and Nelson hydro ratepayers.  This leaves the CAO and others still accountable for all the dishonesty.  I provided all the information to the previous mayor...
