The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is set to provide $475 million in funding for five projects in Arizona, Kentucky, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia on current and former mine land, with the hope that these projects can be replicated in other mining communities across the country.
“President Biden believes that the communities that have powered our nation for the past 100 years should power our nation for the next 100 years,” says U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Thanks to the President’s Investing in America agenda, DOE is helping deploy clean energy solutions on current and former mine land across the country: supporting jobs and economic development in the areas hit hardest by our evolving energy landscape.”
The selected projects cover a range of clean energy technologies, with three projects on former Appalachian coal mines. Projects selected for award negotiation include decarbonizing gold mines in Nevada to develop a PV facility, as well as repurposing mining lands in Pennsylvania and West Virginia for PV systems.
Managed by DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations), the Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land will help provide the mining industry with ways to decarbonize their operations.

I met a woman from Minneapolis this morning, appeared to be in her 70s, grandmother of six, who was in town for an annual family gathering. I mentioned that I thought it was a shame that such a productive, peace-loving and beautiful city as hers had been through such intense violence.
She replied that that ICE is essentially a terrorist organization. “They’ll grab some random protestor, throw him in a snowbank and publicly spit on him, just to show the crowd who’s in charge.”
Trump’s America.
“They’re gone now, but there’s no guarantee that they won’t come back,” she said.
One of the more bizarre aspects of life in America today is our government’s obsession with inserting itself into meaningless parts of our lives.
Why does the Pentagon have a list of religions it recognizes?
Who could possibly give a s*** as to which ones are on that list?
I’m happy to report that I don’t know a single person who would conclude, beyond a reasonable doubt, that “86 45” is a suggestion that Trump should be assassinated.
