A message to everyone that is trying to stop the solar and wind developers from totally destroying Spencer County and taking away our crop producing farm land.
We NEED to get organized and work together as a large team, instead of simply having everyone working as individuals.
I have personally been involved in this fight for close to 4 years. What I have noticed on an International level is many individuals and even many groups have tried to fight against a local solar invasion in their back yard.They are fighting against government officials, Solar Developers and major corporations.
Some of these individuals or groups win and some loose.
I have witnessed some groups win a fight but loose the battle in the long run because of corrupt politicians, or judges.
I have also learned of people that were paid off by the developers, to keep them from fighting or complaining.
But the greatest loss of all is that once the Solar or Wind project got built, many people quite fighting and websites or social media groups were abandoned.
I am the founder and admin of multiple non-profit organizations.
The first organization I built, was created in the 1970’s for individuals in one town and is still very active, even though I no longer live in the area or run it.
Since then, every other organization I built was set up on a National level or an International level where I set up “Chapters” in multiple states and countries.
As such, I gave learned that one of the most vital ingredients needed for any group to survive are communication and a TEAM of leaders.
Therefore, I would STRONGLY encourage the residents of Spencer County to pick a leader from each community that is being threatened with a solar or wind invasion and encourage them to become part of a “board” that meets on a regular basis to share ideas and plans.
The next step would be for those “plans” to be communicated to the entire county and even to adjoining counties.
The bottom line he is to think beyond your own back yard. Find others that have skills that can be used to benefit others and get organized instead of trying to do too much by yourself.
It is great to have a team of two or 4 people going out to visit others, but just like an evangelism program in a church might assign a territory to individual teams, it is important for each team to know where the other teams will be working, so they don’t confuse the public. Plus the fliers, brochures, signs, hats, shirts, etc should also be consistent, so that you are all sending the same message to the general public.
Just my thoughts.
FTW
