A reader asks how to deal with a boss who quotes scripture instead of addressing work issues, noting religious discrimination risks in larger firms and limited options in small ones. Advice stresses reporting to HR if needed, and for passive aggressive behavior, use direct but calm dialogue and maintain focus on work tasks.
Bender of Wellman buys a 1.8 kilowatt solar array for about $15 000 reducing monthly utility bills by more than 10 percent. Farmers Electric Cooperative buys excess energy at 20 cents per kilowatt hour and pays a $60 monthly credit toward an about $200 bill. Tax credits and feed in tariff shorten payback from over 20 years to about 15, with possible faster payback as rates rise. An airline pilot, Bender notes rates unlikely to fall.
The four week series on energy and conservation covers March 21 energy conservation and anaerobic digesters, with today focusing on solar energy. It notes Iowa’s sole major solar equipment maker, PowerFilm Solar of Ames, which develops and sells foldable thin film solar modules.
Iowa lacks accredited solar installation programs and specialized licensing, with few incentives for property owners. Experts say nationwide growth is strong, cost declines accelerate viability, and commercial owners will lead future solar investment as installers and collectors evolve beyond panels.
IPL asks regulators to review a 14 percent rate rise while MidAmerican Energy holds a 1995 rate-freeze. Iowa advocacy groups cite higher IPL charges—10.53 dollar monthly basic service and 10.0 cents per kWh energy—vs MidAmerican’s 8.55 cents per kWh and 6 dollar monthly fee. IPL cites regulatory history and cost structures as reasons for the gap, as executives note differing service histories and power-generation scales.
