Scotts Contracting Agriphotovoltaic solutions

In an upcoming one-off product reveal for a 1MW Texas Agriphotovoltaic solution for Shade and Electricity.

Scotty will be sharing how and why the "one-off" Solar Support and Racking system is stronger than the current systems on the market and is easily adaptable for the challenging conditions present in an agriculture business.

Preliminary calculations are showing this Solar Support and Solar Racking system design will withstand windspeeds up to 125mph!


I'll be updating the Green Blog in the near future with additional details.

Mar 11 update:


 Sleepless in StLouis. 5 hours away from knowing if the Engineer approved my Solar Agriphotovoltaic Invention

Friday March 15 update: To say I'm disappointed with this architect is an understatement, but he finally did listen to me and we are finally proceeding on this project, maybe.  A meeting Monday March 18 will determine my next steps.

Here's what a shared with the client: The architect finally listened to me.  Next week I will get more info on the solar project design.  I'm a little disappointed it has taken this long to get the Architect/Engineer on board for the DIY solar support. He finally listened to me yesterday and has a better understanding of what the project is about and all the nuances involved.  Our next meeting is this coming Monday.
He had questions I did not know about, this was causing him to drag his feet.  I answered his questions, he gets it now I believe.

One of the things we've discussed is a “geotechnical” report/testing needs to be done (or if one has been done previously we need the numbers) on the feedlot pens to determine how big or small the foundation supports needs to be, regardless of what type of foundation used. A smaller foundation translates into money saved whether it's a concrete pier or my preferred choice of “helical anchors” system.  

A non farming person doesn't realize a few things about cattle, feedlots, and stress on cattle, one of which in my eyes is spending as little time as possible disrupting their surroundings, this is what a helical anchor accomplishes because it eliminates time as well as expenses from digging a big hole, pouring concrete, waiting for concrete to dry, then going back and building and installing the system. 

I also want to eliminate any chances of cattle getting hurt in some freak accident where they could break a leg in a trench or a hole in their pen.

FERC Data: Renewables Now 21% Of U.S.' Energy Capacity - Solar Industry

Even though natural gas dominated new electrical generating capacity in 2018, renewable energy sources seem poised to swamp fossil fuels as new generating capacity is added over the next three years, according to a SUN DAY Campaign analysis of newly released data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

FERC’s “Energy Infrastructure Update” report (with data through Dec. 31, 2018) notes that new natural gas generation placed in service in 2018 totaled 20,048 MW, or 64.9% of the total (30,881 MW).

Renewable sources (biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar and wind) accounted for 10,392 MW, or 33.7%. The balance (1.4%) was provided by nuclear (350 MW), waste heat (51 MW), oil (25 MW), coal (10 MW) and “other” (5 MW).

Supported by a late surge of new generating facilities in December (1,943 MW), wind ended 2018 with 6,028 MW of additional capacity for the year, or over 19.5% of the total. It was followed by solar (4,181 MW), or 13.5%. However, new capacity from wind and solar combined in 2018 (10,209 MW) was actually one-quarter less than that added in 2017 (13,601 MW), SUN DAY points out.

FERC’s numbers also reveal that renewable sources now account for 21.0% of total available installed U.S. generating capacity. Five years ago, renewables were 16.0%. Their total installed generating capacity has increased by 35.6% over the past half-decade (from 185.16 GW to 250.99 GW). Utility-scale solar has now reached 3.0% of the nation’s generating capacity while hydropower and wind account for 8.4% and 7.9%, respectively.....article continues

MEETING: Bridgeton Landfill Public Health Consultation

State and federal health departments have determined this community, including workers, could have been harmed by the emissions from the underground fire at the landfill. 

From the meeting 

A resident of the community Mike Mason asks: how could they forget to under report 600 times previously. 


West Lake Landfill Public Group | Facebook

West Lake Landfill has 21,177 members. This group has been formed by concerned residents to inform and keep the public updated about the radioactive waste in the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton, Mo Please like us at Just Moms STL on facebook Website: www.stlradwastelegacy.com


The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is holding a public meeting to present their findings and hear from this community concerning their health consultation. Our comments and engagement will help shape their final conclusions as well as determine how to protect us in the future.

PLEASE help us protect our community by attending and participating in this very important meeting.

January 7th, starting at 5 p.m.
DHSS public meeting will begin with an availability session that has a come-and-go format from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. A presentation will follow starting at 6:30 p.m., which will last approximately 30 minutes, and the meeting will conclude with time for community comments until close at 8:30 p.m.
Location: Bridgeton Banquet Center, 12259 Natural Bridge Road, Bridgeton, MO 63044
DHSS Consultation Report Key Findings:
● In the past, breathing sulfur-based compounds at concentrations detected in the air near the landfill may have harmed the health of people living or working near the landfill by aggravating existing chronic diseases such as asthma or chronic cardiopulmonary disease, or caused respiratory effects such as chest tightness or difficulty breathing, especially in sensitive individuals living or working near the landfill. Breathing the odors of sulfur-based compounds may have also caused headache, nausea or fatigue.
● In the past, long-term or repeated exposure to sulfur-based compounds and their odors in the air near the landfill may have increased stress, impaired mood or increased the risk of respiratory infection for those living or working near the landfill.
WE MUST HAVE 24/7, REAL-TIME AIR MONITORING NOW
In case you missed it or would like a refresher you can read our full newsletter on the Health Consultation here
Volunteers Needed
Since this is such an important meeting, we are seeking volunteers to hand out flyers in your neighborhoods and community. It would also be great if we can get people out this weekend near Walmart or the Machinist Hall intersections on St Charles Rock Road. 

If you are available to help, please respond to this newsletter or email us at westlakemoms@gmail.com for instructions on where to pick up the flyers. If you prefer to print them yourself, you can find the flyer here

Thank you in advance! 
DHSS PUBLIC COMMENT SIGN-ON LETTER
Re: Evaluation of Exposure to Landfill Gases in Ambient Air, Bridgeton Sanitary Landfill, Bridgeton, St. Louis County, Missouri
Prepared by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services
I support and request the following suggestions made by Stephen Lester, Science Director at
Center for Health, Environment & Justice be considered and implemented to improve upon the Health Consultation for the
Bridgeton Landfill in Bridgeton, Saint Louis County, Missouri.

1) ATSDR should address whether the ambient air samples that were used to evaluate
the public health risks considered in this report were adequate and sufficient to
properly evaluate the public health risks posed by the Bridgeton Landfill.

2) ATSDR should conduct an analysis and include a robust discussion of how only using
existing available data impacts its evaluation of the public health risks posed by the
Bridgeton Landfill.

3) The agency should expand its cancer risk calculations to include a full range of the
benzene concentrations found in the ambient air including the highest concentrations
found in ambient air.

4) ATSDR should address the cancer risk data for benzene and include a discussion of the
significance of this cancer risk which exceeds the generally used acceptable cancer risk
target value of one-in-a-million.

5) ATSDR should include a discussion of the potential health impacts on nearby residents
of the emissions from the subsurface smoldering event (SSE) also known as the
underground fire including what data would be needed to assess these risks.

6) ATSDR should include an analysis of the cumulative risks in its evaluation of the public
health risks posed by the Bridgeton Landfill.

7) In cooperation with MDHSS, MDNR and the USEPA, ATSDR should define what air
monitoring locations are considered upwind and which are downwind and identify
which data discussed in Health Consultation Report were collected at each of the
upwind and downwind sites.

8) ATSDR should conduct an analysis and include a robust discussion of the limitations of
screening guidelines and how best to use these values to evaluate the public health
risks posed by the air monitoring data evaluated in this report.

9) ATSDR should recognize and discuss the scientific limitations in our understanding of
the toxicity of chemicals in the Health Consultation Report. As a scientific community,
we know very little about what specific level of exposure to a single chemical, let
alone to multiple chemicals with continuous (or intermittent) exposures over
undetermined or unknown periods of time, will result in an adverse health outcome in
a person. Consequently, public health officials at best can provide their opinion on
what will health effects if any may result from exposure to a chemical in air.

10) ATSDR should direct the MDNR to conduct additional testing to determine the extent
of vapor intrusion may be occurring from the Bridgeton Landfill. Testing for vapor
intrusion in nearby homes and along pathways in between the landfill and nearby
homes should be done by the MDNR not the landfill operator who has a clear bias in
not finding anything.

11) In the future ATSDR should always define its objectives for a health consultation in
consultation with community leaders.


12) ATSDR should rewrite its third conclusion to make clear what it is trying to say. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVwZnW7oMQx89NYtWrfAtOU-lDd7_HOrHS2T-z9qxFIzSOaA/viewform

GreenWashing Architects

So many Architects just don't get it. Typical green washing example: steel studs from only 30% recycled steel and house walls full of toxic foam. Here's just a few points in response to the Article in BUILDER: PREFABPANELS BLEND ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH HIGH DESIGN- Minarc founders talk with BUILDER about how the sustainable panels conserve energy and reduce construction waste.

https://www.builderonline.com/products/green-products/prefab-panels-blend-energy-efficiency-with-high-design_o


What these architects aren't getting is that Industrial Hemp

 1) could be planted on all those hillsides that will soon be eroding from the coming spring rains, this lessens the eroding soil from clogging up the streams below and also will help remove toxins from the soil with phytoremediation. 

2) the Hemp plants could be used to build a True Green Building from Hempcrete that is more energy efficient than spray foam, while being environmentally conscience.

 3) in the case of another fire these same Hempcrete homes would withstand fire better than any toxic spray foam constructed building.

 4) Hempcrete building also block EMF signals- does spray foam do that?

If these So-called Green Building Architects payed attention to what true green buildings are they could learn something from the Dutch.

1st Prefab Hemp Home - Dutch Company!!!! 

Hemp Environmental Forum has posted a weblink to the true green building article.

1,100 hectares of agricultural land used for hemp in the Netherlands, Dun Agro claims to be able to build 500 houses per year and easily scale up in case demand increases.

StLouis Education System CoverUps Pedophilia

Update on that StLouis region pedophile teacher. Add plotting to murder to the list.



Will anyone do anything yet?




I'm trying to help Sondra expose corrupt StLouis, Missouri education system that protects Pedophile Teachers. We're working on compiling all her research into one document. Here's what we have so far: Exposing Corrupt StLouis Education System that protects Pedophile Teachers

Here is how bad the corruption is: after posting I received several messages this morning from teachers who I was asked not to name who knows that this sort of thing happens all the time.

Crowd Fund Cleanup Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch

With the great minds and a crowdfunding endeavor the cleanup of the Great Pacific garbage patch is coming!  

The Machine

It was invented by Boyan Slat, at the time, he was just a teenager.
As his website explains:
“Instead of going after the plastic, Boyan devised a system though which, driven by the ocean currents, the plastic would concentrate itself, reducing the theoretical cleanup time from millennia to mere years. In February 2013 he dropped out of his Aerospace Engineering study at TU Delft to start The Ocean Cleanup. The first cleanup prototype was deployed in June 2016, and The Ocean Cleanup now prepares to launch the first full-scale operational system into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by mid-2018.”
This idea from the CEO of The Ocean Clean Up (what the technology is called) is certainly thought-provoking, and it’s going to be interesting to see how it works.....article continues - Collective Evolution http://www.collective-evolution.com/2018/04/24/a-huge-crowd-funded-machine-is-about-to-start-cleaning-up-the-great-pacific-garbage-patch/


StLouis Renewable Energy: Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch:   What is the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch? A swirling sea of plastic bags, bottles and other debris is growing in the North Pac... "We could just go out there and scoop up an island," Bamford says. "If it was one big mass, it would make our jobs a whole lot easier."


Instead, it's like a galaxy of garbage, populated by billions of smaller trash islands that may be hidden underwater or spread out over many miles. That can make it maddeningly difficult to study — Bamford says we still don't know how big the garbage patch is, despite the oft-cited claim that it's as big as Texas.
"You see these quotes that it's the size of Texas, then it's the size of France, and I even heard one description of it as a continent," she says. "That alone should lend some concern that there's not consistency in our idea of its size. It's these hot spots, not one big mass. Maybe if you added them all up it's the size of Texas, but we still don't know. It could be bigger than Texas."

 While there's still much we don't understand about the garbage patch, we do know that most of it's made of plastic. And that's where the problems begin....http://stlouisrenewableenergy.blogspot.com/2010/11/great-pacific-ocean-garbage-patch.html?spref=bl

Repost against censorship Reddit QAnon Opinion

Blogger Team thought this post was against their guidelines and tried to remove it. I appealed the removal and the post was reinstated. 

 



This is a well thought out and put together Opinion on the QAnon attack by Dr. Corsi who seems to be working in tandem with Alex Jones- Info Wars bonus memes supporting quotes from the horses mouth.

For the record: I stopped watching Alex Jones awhile back where I was first introduced to Jerome Corsi. The Alex Jones message doesn't resonate with me and set alarm bells off in my head
I do follow QAnon https://qanon.pub and have over 2,000 supporting meme war images.

  1. if Q himself has spoken about it [here] (https://8ch.net/qresearch/res/1233188.html#1233458) after having put up with these dark forces trying to undermine him for months, he must have some kind of intel pushing him to react;
