Since I will be on a plane most of the day and have a hectic schedule the next couple of days posts here will be pretty sporadic (even though I can blog from my phone now) but will definitely post any updates I receive on local news as quickly as possible. Additionally I will try and update about my progress and what I learn from the Dept of Energy (so far on our side) and who in the Energy and Water subcommittee may not be as supportive as we want.

From what I understand very little stimulus money is going to reach rural Oregon. While the WOW appropriation will not come from the stimulus money other services like US Fish and Wildlife Service is receiving stimulus money and anxious to invest in renewable energy. Indirectly we can still attract ARRP money into Southern Oregon.
