City Council
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

Solar Powered?
Unless you want to built a large array and run a third center rail trolley (think Washington DC and EXPENSIVE), there’s no way in heck. No way.
Weinberg and apparently most of the Council haven’t been around long enough to remember WHY the Flathead was and might still be the second-cloudiest place in the nation, IIRC 220 of overcast per annum.
Nuts.
The only other solar alternative would be a locomotive stuffed full of lead-acid deep-cycle batteries and a charging rack. Again, that depends on whether the sun shines.
I vote for coal-fired steam.

I vote for nuclear power.  I know what I’m talking about.  I’m the safety whatcamacallit at that place….the plant.
