Last night we had the Comptche debate/moderated discussion. Chuck engineered a cordial but animated affair where everyone present was able to contribute; my thanks again. If you've read this website, you already know many of my positions on the issues, so I present an audio recording of the evenings' event and let it speak for itself. The recording is one made by my iPod in a large, open room so its quality is uneven. If you have any questions about the dialog, please email me and I can clear them up.
(errata: listening to a portion of the discussion, I hear I claimed the town of Philo was the one that did a study of cash flow in and out of the community and found it was sending $50M/year out -- I was in error. The town that did this was Willits, not Philo, though I suspect that any community that did such a cash flow analysis would find similar monetary outflows for energy.)
Just wanted to remind the readers of the Comptche debate tonight. Michael Schaeffer and I will engage in a question and answer session with the audience driving the discussion. The forum will be moderated by Chuck Wilcher, a former school board member; if you can't attend tonight, you can get your question asked by emailing Chuck at cwilcher@mcn.org
The discussion starts at 7PM Wednesday November 2nd at the Comptche Community Organization Hall (the Grange).
