    Solar in Virginia - a panel discussion before the VA Soil & Water Conservation Districts

    There is a pressing question about what we do for solar development to assure environmental quality while conforming with tried and true rural Virginia values. John Flannery, Area II Chair, introduced a panel of talented experts in the field - Scott Cameron, as Chair, Judy Dunscomb, Zach Jacobs and Skyler Zunk. This discussion goes to how we get there from here - and we thought we should discuss that now so we may implement what is necessary. JPF

On the insurrection

I always liked listening to John when he was a guest on Ari Melber, and now that I've discovered his podcast look forward to listening more. His monologue on "the insurrection" is an instructional critique of what went right and what went wrong in the official response of our congressmen and women. His episodes with John McLaughlin… Wow! They are two people who know how the justice system works, among many other areas such as politics and the governmental systems at the federal and state levels. If I was only able to listen to one podcast, this would be it, because they talk about the most important things that are going on in our country, and that is how to preserve it in its intended state of democracy.

A must listen

This is a top flight lawyer and political observer who relates complex idea clearly and simply. And he will answer you if you engage with him on twitter. I’ve been listening and watching his walk and talks for a while. It’s helped give me the framework to understand our new political climate.
