Reply to PPL’s Rhode Island utility issues solicitation for up to 1,000 MW of offshore wind by ForHidingSquirrels
If it adds capacity to the market and it isn’t taxpayer subsidized then I’m for it.
I’m learning about home solar now and what I don’t understand is why they don’t let you overproduce and sell back to the grid if you have the roof space. Did the energy industry lobby the state to keep this power away from the people?

Why in the world are you getting downvoted for that? People don’t have common sense.

I was going to say about the same. I’m from upstate NY originally… I’ve had Durks and they don’t even come close to Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse. Most likely you’ll be disappointed anywhere you try.

Failing is probably too harsh a word, maybe in need of maintenance is a better term. There are drone shots on YouTube by a RI guy that does a lot of drone movies and he points out what the weather has done to the stone.

The exterior is failing which is why the scaffolds are up on Fulton and Westminster sidewalks so you don’t get hit with anything. I wouldn’t think the extent of construction would extend over and across the street though.
I think it’s weird that they’ve given Kennedy plaza one maybe two makeovers since I’ve started working downtown 9 years ago. And now to do it again.

Well sometimes you can be in a discussion which may be of interest to you and then some wing nut takes a right turn (see what I did there?) and starts ranting about politics.

Reply to comment by leonpinneaple in Question about getting RI license after moving here by [deleted]
Same here I kept my NY license for a while but finally converted to RI so I could register the homestead credit for property taxes. Luckily that was like a week or two before the pandemic shut everything down. Also I think the license is only good for like 1 year then you have to renew it. Luckily that is just sending them money in the mail.

Reply to State Senator stealing my land by Silly_Yak_3741
I had always wondered how adverse possession works when a new owner comes on. If I was encroaching and using some property and someone called me on it I would concede. Because you bought property based on established property lines not where the row of bushes is. You’ll definitely need to see a lawyer to see what your options are. I wonder if there is any recourse with title insurance? Good luck, I hope you succeed.
