I know there are many questions on the solar project, this is my response to the solar project.
1. I am not in favor of any government entity telling a land owner what he can or can not do, I also don't want a hog lot or feed lot next door, the commissioner's will work for what is best for Bates County.
2. I am in favor of solar just not 100%. I know in the next few years we will see a great increase in energy demands solar may be a good way to help with demands.
3. When it comes to this solar project I will only make an informed decision, what's best for Bates County.
I have talked to one landowner and will talk to more, I have been in close contact with Clear Way solar and Nextera solar.
I look forward to visiting finished projects and projects in progress, as well as learning the benefit of chapter 100 bonds and their benefit in our county possibly for this project and others in the future.
I hope this will give a clear understanding of where I stand on this solar project.
Thanks Northern Commissioner John Gray
