Every <br />level of government should be striving to reduce the overall carbon footprint created by people and <br />their power-generating activities within that government’s jurisdiction. Solar energy is an excellent <br />source of relatively carbon-free power, and it should be encouraged whenever feasible. The <br />proposed solar farm is an excellent example of the kinds of development Lake Elmo should welcome. <br /> <br />The concerns of neighbors to the proposed project should not be ignored. However, the solar farm <br />(when built) will be a quiet neighbor with very little traffic. Plus, the neighbors will know the project <br />is helping to fight climate change. The project proposers have worked with City staff and the <br />neighbors to manage the screening as well as can be expected. <br /> <br />I urge you to approve this solar farm project. <br /> <br />Sent from Mail for Windows <br />
