Culver: Nice Scientists Not Welcome
At the October Plan Commission meeting, the discussion on WECS’s continued. (Previously discussed here.) The Commission could not come to enough of a consensus to formulate a new Ordinance but they did take a series of votes that defined several of the issues. It would appear that proponents of banning WECS’s are achieving most of their goals. If they proceed along their current path, Culver residents would not be allowed to have a WECS that produces more than .5 kilowatts in the lake district, park district, and R1 residential district as well as within 1/4 mile of any of those districts.
I would still contend that the proponents of the ban are too focused on their distaste for the aesthetics of current wind turbine technology and fail to consider the advantages that could come from advances in the field.

Walnuts to beat the band!
I spent last weekend picking up walnuts. I lost count on the number of buckets, but I’m estimating I picked up over 200 gallon. I was too lazy to drag them up and weigh them, but they weren’t light. We have four walnut trees and we had a bumper crop. I have a Nut Wizard that works pretty good for picking them up, but this year they were so thick that even that was a challenge. It does well with one nut, but when you are running across a clump of 5, it doesn’t have the opportunity spread out and pick them up.
