An article in todays Albuquerque Journal by Michael Hartranft, Sunroof, tells of a company here in Albuquerque spending 5 million dollars to cover their empolyee’s parking lot, get this, with solar panels….solar panels to provide energy for the company, reportly about 80 % of their power needs, and providing shade for many of the cars of the employees…5 acres worth…5 million dollars for 1.1 megawatt photovoltaic system….5,040 solar panels at The Bell Group headquarters….That’s something, huh? Well, I thought so. you can catch the entire article at ABQjournal.com….I enjoyed the article Mr. Hartfanft…good job…

Listen folks, I have messed with Bill most of his administration…Sometimes jokingly, sometimes not….we have to give the man his due…He has been called on to negotiate in many situations…He is in Cuba pushing them to free Alan Gross, a U. S. government subcontractor jailed there for about nine months. He traveled to Cuba as part of a mission to strengthen trade and cultural partnerships between New Mexico and Cuba. I don’t know if he will be successful or not, but you have to hand it to the man, he does a good job in that area. He has been involved with negotiations in several instances to get people released from foreign governments…from Korea a while back comes to mind…He is always willing to try and I applaud him for his efforts…Way to go, Governor…I am sure Mr. Gross and his family appreciate it very much.  Pete Hester
