Unbelievable photographs taken by my neighbor Fern Fenwick. Don't worry folks the bobcat is not in distress, just having a great time climbing (and coming back down) an electric pole.  So much for the Red Lake area  being barren and having no wildlife! This is our backyard! If you have any pictures you would like to share please send them along to denisebensusan@hughes.net You can also view this photo at Kingman Daily Miner.

Column: Rule of law deserves respect

Ron Walker
Mohave County Manager

EXCERPT: "The lunatic fringe normally exists on both sides of most social and political issues. This is a great country exactly because we can choose to be part of the middle or the extremes, as long as we follow the laws of the land in doing so. However, one should be fully aware of some of those on the fringe."


DON'T TREAD ON US
 
I don't know Luca Zanna personally but I must appreciate his response to the heinous abuse of power that has been forced upon Mohave County citizens for quite some time now. If this doesn't fire you up as an American then nothing will! .  Click here the link above and see what violating Americans rights should sound like I guess this says it all! 
 
Some of you who are reading this don't live in Mohave County Arizona but you might know the feeling of having your (so called) representatives abuse the power that you have entrusted them with. 

We have been beat, bloodied and bludgeoned by our elected elite here.  The corruption, the greed and the violation of the laws they themselves claim they keep have brought a citizenship together in a way I have not seen for a long time!   Yes folks I said CORRUPTION.  For those elected officials that don't know the definition here it is...... 

 
CORRUPTION: 1 a : impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle 
 
You can read the article by our illustrious Tom Sockwell )District #2 Board of Supervisor at: 

http://kingmandailyminer.com/main.asp?SectionID=36&SubSectionID=73&ArticleID=35736  This man has forgotten who it is that he works for. 

 
 I for one am going to take to the streets with anyone who is ready to stand strong against this kind of CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE.  This is about ALL OF US!  Its the raping and pillaging of our natural resources, given to greedy corporations by our elected elite and the tyranny these leaders commit upon what is supposed to be an open and transparent government.
 
A revolution is happening in America...BE A PART OF IT!   
 
Feel free to forward this widely.  Its a cool song and Americans seem to be coming to their sense when it comes to what being an American is really all about!

Arizona can offer solar-energy developers legendary sun-drenched skies and thousands of empty square miles but not nearly so ample a supply of a third essential resource.

Water.

As the state vies for a place among the renewable-energy leaders, seeking the jobs and tax revenue a vibrant solar industry would create, officials face a fundamental and all-too-familiar obstacle that could slow the green power rush.

Global trends create investment opportunity, says Charlotte's Kingfisher
By Bruce Henderson

The future of water, experts predict, holds increasing shortages, droughts and conflict. Kingfisher Capital, a Charlotte investment advisory firm, sees profits.

Kingfisher, launched last summer, subscribes to what it calls "gravity

investing" - exploiting

global trends with

predictable outcomes.

The world's population will

grow and crave a higher standard of living, those trends say, swelling cities. Climate will change, oil resources peak and low-carbon energy come of age.

Ethically Challenged,
The fight over solar power in the Desert Southwest

“Vanity, vanity, thy name is humanism.” –Edward Abbey


In a nutshell, because wind and solar power projects have to capture energy from a very diffuse source compared with burning coal or oil, they consume a lot of land, wildlife habitat, material resources, and, with the proposals for concentrating solar thermal power plants in the Southwest, a lot of water. In the desert. (This is a MUST READ article)

How Does Solar Power Work?

The basics of solar power.

The PV cells carries with it a positive and a negative slice of silicon placed below a skinny slice of glass. As the protons of the daylight beat down onto the PV cell they knock the neutrons off the silicon.
