Santa Barbara County moves towards Solar, Wind power
The primary power generation source envisioned by the plan would be solar, but the potential for utility-scale wind energy projects would also be enhanced through the revision of ordinances, specifically in the Coastal Zone. 4-1 vote in favor (Peter Adam, 4th District, dissenting) by Santa Barbara County Supervisors in September 2019. https://santamariatimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/energy-plan-may-bring-more-solar-wind-power-to-santa/article_1cffdc6a-1e93-541f-8472-0c015d55e24b.html#utm_source=santamariatimes.com&utm_campaign=%2Femail-updates%2Fbreaking&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_content=299982f7dd0fe15462113df5cce9f3ea6f50118a

The facts about Trump’s policy of separating families at the border.
- By C Ford in Action, International, Local, National, News, Slider, State, Uncategorized
July 19, 2019
