Re: Streetlight replacement with LED's
I'm loving the new LED street lights. In fact I got my entire street switched over from the old lights to the new LED lights and I've noticed quite the difference in brightness and the ability to see. I wish OPPD would move faster on replacing these bulbs though. They really need to focus on the int...

What’s your views on the current proposal?
I think it’s a great idea and should make it happen. Anyone have design pics?

Re: Project Wizard Data center
So two Google data centers in the Omaha metro. That's pretty cool. My guess of why they are building a new one instead of adding onto the CB one is for redundancy purposes. That way if something happens at the CB site, they still have another one in the center of the country. They actually have 3 S...

We could be growing further if we can attract the mass exodus that's happening in California. Most of them are moving to Texas though. Let's grow our population. We surely need more people to fill these vacant jobs that we have.
