Shneps ...
To start off, your massive chip on your shoulder is displayed 24/7 by you refusing to read or understand even established facts by third parties.
What was Sage Ranch before, was entitled in May of 2006, a month before the great recession. The project proponents in the LLC went under due to the great recession and the entitlement expired in 2008. The City no longer was going to allow ANYONE to seek entitlement as the changing demographic in nearby Lancaster and Palmdale frightened the City leaders and they refused to allow the land at Sage Range to be a home to what they considered the wrong group. With the City not supporting the project, there was zero value to a national builder or developer. I made the purchase (which I could of made myself) for GRB in 2011 at $1,040,000 to the chagrin of the City.
Once the City knew the buyers would soon be employees of the still unfufilled aviation contracts (because folks don't want to live in Lancaster or Palmdale) they allowed Greenbriar to start anew the process of entitlement, this time for 995 homes. So again, you know zero of the history. $1,040,000 to $450,000,000. Suck it up buttercup.
Regarding your lame experience as a "has been" middle manager of a GC, which GC routinely fires useless people like yourself, your explanation of your history shows you were a low lying cog on a replaceable wheel. Once your hydro projects in BC dried up, you were out of work. Hydro is notorious for massive cost overruns and inflated budgets and large contingencies due to many acute reasons I can name individually.
Your spite for me is not containable. Our bid price at 10% lower is overmatched by solar radiation and insolation that is 40% higher than the next best project. Read the NREL maps. Solar panels are 100% more powerful with wafer density (not the same as efficiency) than a few short years ago. The higher bidders are the ones with more middlemen. Many people and groups in the middle of the deal.
GRB is NOT a renewable constructor and neither was Western Wind. No lender will allow any project owner to build their own project. We go to the largest and best world class contractors who also put up by the banks request, 20% of the project costs in advance, in the form of Letters of Credit, to build on time and on budget, with liquidated damages to us for any delay. It is Greenbriar who gets rid of the middleman, which is you. Your job and ex-company were the most disposable persons and entities in the ecosystem. It is the developer like GRB who has the key land sites, permits, IC locations, contracts, highest resource yields, (eg exceptional energy yields from both high solar radiation, insolation or wind speeds) and experience who win the day, NOT the replaceable LOW MARGIN GC's like yourself. You are jealous and perturbed I can build projects with 100% debt financing AS my history has proven. You my friend are a NOBODY in the industry and are highly unemployable because pencil pushing blowhards are a dime a dozen. You are a former pencil pushing blowhard who now pimps delisted stocks, as a matter of record on Stockhouse. Capeche!
As for Ruben, aka LetsMakeMoney, he is another "has been."
You'll never know the business like myself and you do not have the balls to emulate my success.
Not in this life, or in another life. Your personality of jealousy, stalking CEO's on Stockhouse give away your traits of being a cuckholding nobody. And I am being sincere and nice to you. No one would hire you again in the renewable energy business. Even your knowledge within it was so limited to a narrow function of uselessness, you did not understand the industry outside of your little box.
