UPDATE !!!!!!!!!
We have heard from Hecate and they have stated that the News
letter that Bob received was sent out in error, and that
they have no intention of filing a new NOI for anything in
our area. They have also shut down their Facebook page, and
their website. they are planning a battery storage facility
near Captain Jack power station.
"Just outside Bonanza, OR, sits an
eight-year-old solar farm, a stark testament to corporate
neglect. Frames tilt haphazardly, cracked and
shattered panels litter the overgrown fields, and frayed
wires snake through desiccated weeds. The once-promising
grid now resembles a derelict industrial site, a breeding
ground for fire hazards with its accumulated dry vegetation
and exposed electrical components. This decaying landscape
underscores a disturbing reality: for some solar companies,
profitability trumps responsible land stewardship, leaving
our community to contend with the hazardous aftermath of
their abandoned promises."
