Bold Nebraska Sets Groundbreaking Date for Solar Barn: Aug 17 [View all]

Groundbreaking and pouring of the first solar barn foundation will take place in York, Nebraska on August 17, with construction to begin by volunteers in September, and completed the same month.
The solar barn and wind energy protest seeks to build low-pollution energy sources on ranches in the path of the Keystone XL Pipeline proposal. To build the pipeline the solar barns and wind turbines would need to be torn down. The ranchers and farmers benefit from the barn raisings.
A new novel fundraising method is also promoted: Pies Against the Pipeline, promoting bake sales across the state at county fairs, farmers' markets, &c. to raise both awareness and funds for the organisation's court fight and barn raising projects.
And a Lancaster County judge (Lincoln, the state capital) has set the date for the ranchers suing TransCanada for September 27. The state will not report on its plans before the court case is completed - this essentially slows down the whole process.
Things are moving forward, and getting more uncomfortable for TransCanada.
