Humboldt Last Week

(12:38) Blackouts have made alternative energy appear more attractive as the Planning Commission is deciding on Terra-Gen’s proposed wind energy project near Rio Dell. At the same time, the project’s dependence on PG&E’s grid and other concerns are being raised. (10:09) You've likely heard contributing host Eric Black on local terrestrial radio and have seen some of his video news projects. This week he looks into differing perspectives on possibly restricting cars along the Arcata Plaza, as well as possible signal improvements for Verizon customers in Eureka. Also: An outside firm is investigating HSU’s police chief, PG&E appears able to run their Humboldt Bay plant in “island mode” but for some reason chose not to during recent outages, a man left Arcata and died fighting ISIS with Kurds, the locally-shot movie of the week, event suggestions for the week, and so much more.
