A writer cannot submit more than one letter to the editor per month.

We will not publish a personal issue with a business (I bought a garage door opener at Company X, it doesn’t work and they won’t give me my money back). We do not get into he-said, she-said situations between individuals, particularly relationships and/or child custody cases.
No election-related letters will be published within a week of the election.

I was unable to attend the solar hearing recently. Lucky for us, there were objective interested parties taking notes.
Someone needs to call out candidates making claims they can’t substantiate. You cannot claim overwhelming victory when you represent a minority of the total voter population.
I will take a step further. These candidates are representative of the people that got us into this mess. 40 years ago, we first heard of climate change. Proposals to move from fossil fuels at time when gradual change would have been less painful were shouted down. The darker side of capitalism won’t allow such things. Capitalism does not want their share of profit, it wants it all. All these years later we breath dirtier air, serious weather events everywhere, sea-level rise driving towns to relocate and cities to raise sea walls. If you live in a rural area, you might be surprised to know that a century ago big business delayed rural electrification by 40 years. National Electric Light Association (NELA) not only did not electrify the countryside but lobbied the US government to not allow co-ops or the TVA. We can continue our backward ways or let renewable be the the bridge to our children’s clean energy future.
