Okay! It's early July! So how about another story to give all of us an update on the "water bottling company".

Did as you said snarky and it still appears to me you folks are on a snipe hunt. Article says he is moving equipment in next week. Article says there are no government subsidies or assistance. How many times did people like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison and even Einstein fail? Maybe this guy is as crazy as those guys. Seems to me you are so anti Bebe you would rather see your county suffer than be successful. If the equipment doesn't show up soon then I'll be the first to condemn it as a political stunt. However, if the equipment does show up and the dude begins bottling water, I expect to see you patriotically in the checkout line stocking up. And if he starts and fails, I'll still pull for him to can Walker County kudzu or any other nutty idea he conjures up.

Are you folks friggin nuts? In the distorted reality political world has it really come down to positioning yourselves as anti-capital, anti-job, anti-everything? Suppose this CEO is a fruitcake, at least he is incorporating something and trying hair brained ideas rather than sitting on his ass doing nothing but complaining about everything. Are you contending that your commissioner is delusional enough to contrive a plot to announce a measly 20 jobs thinking that is going to win the swing vote? What you should be doing is lining up all your friends to plan to buy local water bottled by a local nut who at least risked the capital to incorporate and buy the plastic bottles rather that spouting your ignorance to the world to stay away from the Walker County den of dimwits.

cheers,

from tired of people sitting on their ass doing

There are four different SunRae companies that have existed in Tennessee.

RealBright - Sunrae Aquaponics LLC, incorporated on 04/30/12

Realbright - Sunrae Water LLC, incorporated on 04/09/12

SunRae Environmental Inc., incorporated 01/09/11 and dissolved on 05/01/12

and SunRae Environmental LLC, incorporated 05/01/12

All three have the same mailing address, 103 Dexters Run, Juliet TN. Judging by satellite images on Mapquest, it's a residential neighborhood.

Does it technically exist? Yes. Did it exist a month ago? No. Does it have an office or facilities? No.

A few minutes of investigation on the part of any reporter would throw a lot of doubt on most of the claims about this business, not to mention the Barwick plant it supposedly will be using is polluted with toxic chemicals that would make it unfit for anything except sorting trash, which is what all Mr. Schieck's businesses say they do. Except none of them do anything.

"Does Real Bright Sunrae Water even exist? I can't find a drop of info on it on the web."

Well, thats a great question. Seeing as how the "CEO" of this company has only been in this line of work for a mite over a year (January 2011- Source Linked In profile) and his previous ventures (Eco- Ventures -Location "unknown" leads to a dead link, MasoMedia- Pensacola, Florida) seem to have disappeared without a particle of evidence that they ever existed, one could rightly question if this is some sort of paper enterprise that makes for good newspaper copy,but is full of air.

Which leads us to this guy's current venture. It does have a working website- http://sunraeenvironmental.com- but you would be pretty hard pressed to figure out just what these guys actually do.There's lots of talk about reducing muncipal waste by 50% (!) by...Wishful thinking,I guess. The website doesnt say. Theere's just a lot of buzzword jargon of the type that got Solyndra a cool half a billion of your grandkids tax dollars.

The website (remember,this "company" dates to early last year)also claims to produce ethanol (big red flag- ethanol takes a lot of energy to produce and makes no money without government handouts),electronics recycling,tire shredding,soil remediation,transportation and bio and hazardous disposal. All of this from a company that started a little over a year ago.

But wait,there's more! Sunrae produces organic fertilizers,Solar power and crumb rubber.When they have a spare moment, the team at Sunrae is doing soil remediation research, algae to oil conversion,and landfill reclamation research. Impressive. Even more impressive when the company lists NO PHYSICAL ADDRESS in which it does business.

Oddly, this "mini GE" doesn't list bottled water anywhere on its website. Probably an oversight because they are so busy spreading "organic fertilizer" around.

Okay,folks.Add it all up.Career politician.Slick promoter. Election year (and a grouchy electorate).Are you really that gullible?

Just more election B.S. After July they will say that the building was in too bad of shape to fix up (asbestos) or the financial backing fell through. Just another election tactic by a sole commissioner. It's time Walker County went to a five person comission. Then these kind of things will stop.

Does Real Bright Sunrae Water even exist? I can't find a drop of info on it on the web.

Where does the water that they are bottling come from? Is this going to really happen or is it election year propaganda?
