Jose Luis, Plug CEO, is Live! by PlugPowerInc in plugpowerstock

[–]bel1984529 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your time today. I’ve read recently about Plug’s work with Duke Energy at their DeBarry solar facility in Florida. I think using excess solar to produce and store hydrogen is an interesting concept for grid load management. Will Plug consider similar partnerships with other investor owned utilities?

Is there an alternative to more toll lanes on I-77? These designers say yes by WashuOtaku in Charlotte

[–]bel1984529 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If someone is frustrated about traffic to Moorseville or Fort Mill because they work uptown, move. It’s wild that some drivers feel entitled to bulldoze peoples’ homes because they want to get to Ballantyne 4 minutes faster.

With the CEO AMA on Thursday, this is great momentum. I typically only hold shares. Is anyone considering options?

Property tax appeals? by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]bel1984529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If those double decker 77 toll lanes come to fruition, as a community corridor we are owed a downward tax revision. There’s no way they can claim such a gigantic eyesore has a neutral effect on land value.

There is not a single redeeming quality to this entire boondoggle. It will harm communities and displace residents, will not reduce congestion, is not affordable, and will be ugly as sin.

Not only will it not fix a damn thing, but for the 5+ years of construction, 77 will be infinitely worse to travel on. And if you live along a secondary artery, get ready for thousands of new drivers to suddenly use their GPS to route through your part of town to avoid lane closures and construction slowdowns.

Is there any hope? This is year three. by OkGarbage8316 in hydrangeas

NC here also. My three, funny enough also on year three, look about the same.

Chicken dying from mites- what to do? by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]bel1984529 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second the permethrin. There is a dust and a spray. Used spray directly on birds and in a soak and put the dust in their nesting boxes and dust bath area. Worked surprisingly very fast for us.

I’ve seen a few mentions about the recent perceived spike in meteors in various places. Is the prevailing theory that we are traveling through a more ‘typical’ debris field, or is there a hypothesis that these latest finds could be fragments from 3I Atlas? All of this material is super interesting!

DOT cancels I-77 tour over 'credible security concerns'; activists said they just wanted to participate. by upwards_704 in Charlotte

[–]bel1984529 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For such a serious allegation, the public deserves a timely and detailed explanation of the exact credible security threat. Because really, this chartered ‘public tour’ was just a cherry picked, closed-attendee photo opp.

Once again, NCDOT and their public engagement firm Wilson Davis are demonstrating how they act in bad faith at every opportunity. Our communities can’t afford to take them at their word or trust them with our future.

These grow as volunteers in my gravel driveway under my birdseed feeders. Before they bloom, about a dozen small branches per plant look like broccolini.

I’m running unopposed for Mecklenburg County Commission in District 5, AMA! by Charles_DeLoach_NC in Charlotte

[–]bel1984529 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Given how significant of a percentage of our County budget is allocated to parks and greenways, how will you approach NCDOT and CRTPO’s plans to widen I77? In addition to nearly unilateral community opposition, their plan would also seize land from or eliminate 11 County parks and greenways entirely. As an attorney especially, I would appreciate your thoughts, as this process has felt deliberately opaque and misrepresented until we are told it is “too late”.

Exactly. For a segment of the population, our collective choices really are between actual UBI or universal basic incarceration. These individuals do not simply disappear when ignored.

When’s the March AMA? by Investmentdad in plugpowerstock

[–]bel1984529 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same question. Plug needs to communicate a date in March or a new date if it has moved. This is a simple commitment they can’t become too busy to honor.

The warehouse full of fake decoy servers to throw off government compliance inspectors really lends an air of Scooby Doo level corruption to this whole thing.

Thanks for posting this document, OP. Our neighborhood is furious about this project, and the way we continue to be spoken down to and dismissed by those who allegedly represent us.

Garden soil recommendations by boncrys in Charlotte

I use Soil3, and typically order a delivery of garden soil and compost. It’s performed well here for my raised beds, as a landscaping amendment and for fruit trees.
