Needs are clear
• Independent Energy Source
• Abundant Energy Source
• Ample Available with no restrictions
• Ample in County of Riverside
What Else?
When the Sun is up…..
• Our energy consumption goes up
• The Electrical Utilities production needs are up
• Our electrical cost rises in tiers and costs lot more
• …
• The Sun will offset this need
• Our electrical cost goes down
• Electrical consumption peak from utilities lowers
• Sun causes “Peak Shaving”
• …
• Sun gives power exactly when we need it
• …
• Help us to buy less power
• And what we buy costs lot less
Why a Farm?
