The rotational grazing method by Carbon Cowboys is called AMP (adaptive multipaddock) appears to be better than the rotational grazing method advocated by Va Tech. We should consider AMP a best management practice if it really is.

Some comments on the Trump foreign beef deal. This appears accurate. This deal hurts cattle producers but is unlikely to lower beef prices at the store.

OK. The idea of locally owned electric utilities can be applied throughout the 2nd Congressional District. I have added a new blog posting to describe how it could work. Check it out! Please vote for Bill Fleming on or before August 4.

My County Electric Utility Summary

The proposal is straightforward:

Counties would build and own wind turbines, sell electricity into the PJM regional grid, and use the revenue to lower local electricity costs and strengthen county budgets.

This model does not replace existing utilities such as Dominion or AEP. Instead, it supplements them with county--owned generation assets, similar to how counties already operate water, wastewater, and solid waste authorities.

The goal is to give communities more control over their energy future and keep energy revenue circulating locally.

Imagine a future where a county can generate its own clean electricity, lower monthly bills for every household, and keep energy profits circulating locally instead of flowing to a distant monopoly. That future may be closer than we think — and Virginia’s rural counties could lead the way.
