NH Has a Bill to Address Toxic Solar Waste that at Least One Solar Company Wants to Block
Local Solar guy Dan Weeks is in favor of bilking us out of millions and billions of dollars today to address climate change – the anticipation of theoretical problems in the future – based on prophecies by prognosticators who’ve yet to accurately predict much if anything about the climate or even the weather.
Cornerstone Legislative Update – Big Week for Bills We Are Following
With many bills on the House agenda for March 11 and 12, we recognize that this is not practical.
