Editor:
In the article “The Tax Man Cometh” (July 28), Supervisor Estelle Fennell explained the noise of her generator by saying she likes to watch TV.
Estelle, you worked at KMUD right across the street from Alternative Energy Engineering for years, interviewed me once and David Katz on more than one occasion about solar power and renewable energy and yet you have to run a generator to watch TV? In mid summer when there’s lots of sun?
It sounds like you need to get with the 21st century, get some solar power, and let your neighbors enjoy their evening peace.

Good call Charles Hunter Wilson!
Seems like Estelle may suffer from a deficiency in Vitamin D and/or an overdose on TV!
After 33 years here in “the solar capital of the world” one can only wonder what kind of zombie pills and drugs and alcohol some of these capitalists immigrants are on!? If enough public pressure she may vote herself another big raise so we can pay for her solar! Then BOS will increase local taxes. Gov!
