Thanks you all 119 of you who voted for me, but it was not enough. Thanks to all that did vote, and to my opponents Pat and Desiree. With the amount of voter turnout is shows that folks are happy with the current path of the coop. I am not.

Again thanks.

Is this good news for all the Air B&B folks out there? Some of the best places I have stayed in were Air B&B's. Will this only improve them?

Airbnb is partnering with ChargePoint to expand access to EV chargers for renters, offering hosts a sizable discount on this technology.

Interesting -Micro EV's -What is your feedback on why these are not already made by a US company, and are we headed for another US car manufacturer bailout due to US car companies not providing marketable vehicles for niche markets.

I am running for JCE Co-op District 5 Directorship. District 5 includes Galena and surrounding area. We are a non-for-profit electric, gas and communications supplier. When I say "we" I mean that we are all District 5 members and should have a say.
You may vote online or by regular mail in ballot. For regular mail, if you live in District 5 (our district) you have probably already received a ballot in the mail. You will be able to check the candidate’s box and return the ballot in the supplied envelope.
If you have previously supplied our co-op with your email address, you have probably received an email with a link to online voting. For online voting, merely open the JCE Co-op email and click the link to the voting page, and then click the box for your candidate.
That's all you have to do to vote. Please vote and make this a valid election. It is best when we all vote. It really does make a difference.
Thanks,
Pete

Interesting discussion on agriculture and solar competing for space. There are plenty of large structures, warehouses, machine sheds, and other industrial buildings that would be great sites for larger arrays in the US. If used, it would help reduce the cost of "smaller" solar arrays.

Italy's government wants to restrict solar panels on agricultural land, as energy companies say this will drive up electricity costs.

Bright days ahead indeed. 2023 saw a new record in renewable energy thanks largely to solar generation.

Voting is in full swing now. There appears to be some confusion about this election. This is not a political or government election. It is for the member’s director for District 5 (Galena, IL) of the non-for-profit company JCE Co-op. A Director provides direction for the business and acts with the best interest of the members. If you receive a ballot or a link to the online voting, then you are a member. If your electric, gas, or internet bill indicates District 5, then you are a member of District 5. Please vote for me for board of directors for District 5 of JCE Co-op. As your director, I will provide my best decision making and always be open and available for your valuable ideas. Thank you.
