Comment | Thank you for taking comments. I have worked closely with the Monterey Bay Air Resource Board helping clients come into and stay in compliance to operate both diesel and natural gas power generators. None of these clients want to operate generators and to do the work to comply and the high expense. I do not like the term victim, however in a sense the inability of PG&E to in any reasonable time frame supply power has forced them to spend money labor resources and hire people like me to navigate the paper work when they would prefer to write a check and have clean reaiable power. What I believe needs to be considered when you consider more regulation, which you may have the right, however it may not be the right thing to do. 1. Jobs have already been lost because the cost to operate on generators is so high. Many of our clients grow cannabis which has seen a steady decline in the price of product as a result of supply and demand. Fees and taxes however are fixed. 2. Publishing this data adds to a very high security risk for these business as they operate on cash,not because of choice, but federal banking laws.When the state publishes these locations it is an open invitation for these business to have greater security issues both for product theft and the cash needed to operate. I sincerely believe that no ill will is involved, however unintended consequences are added cost to business that provide many agricultural jobs and related services will cut back as margins are already tight. The added risk of inviting crime to a pinpoint location with the potential for property loss,injury or death seems unnecessary, when the goal is to be on the grid, once the utility can add resources. Thank you for reading,for understanding this is not a situation that anybody forsaw and all are working hard to resolve. Best regards, George Osborne 2-6 484 8538 |
