Municipal broadband is a bad idea for cash-strapped towns

Always controversial, building these networks may be a particularly poor choice for most localities in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cities have seen their tax revenues shrink with pandemic shutdowns, and taking on additional debt to support broadband networks will be difficult to justify. Add the lack of proven economic benefits from municipal networks, and these proposals look like an increasingly bad use of local resources.

The solar power bonanza

By 1/11/2021 Sandy and Greg Brummond know a good deal when they see one.

Their current system (which can be expanded) generates 43% of the electricity their farm and home uses. Second, their solar array came with financial help. “To offset some of the cost, we got a $9,000 federal grant,” Sandy Brummond explains. “We also qualified for a 30% federal tax credit that offset $12,000 from the purchase and installation cost.”
