The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is seeking developers to implement solar photovoltaic arrays and/or battery energy storage systems at four sites in Warren County.

The solicitation, which seeks proposals by Nov. 9, is asking for competitively priced proposals to design and construct 4.1 MW of distributed solar PV at two adjacent landfills in Queensbury, the Cool Insuring Arena and a Department of Public Works building in Glens Falls.

“The New York Power Authority is pleased to support the development of innovative clean energy projects in Warren County, which will provide economic and environmental benefits to the City of Glens Falls and the surrounding community,” says Justin E. Driscoll, NYPA’s president and CEO. “Working with municipalities to implement new energy solutions and lower greenhouse-gas emissions helps us achieve our renewable resource targets locally and collectively as a state to advance our clean energy and sustainability goals.”

The RFP identifies the following locations and estimated system sizes:

  • Glens Falls municipal landfill, 64 Luzerne Road, Queensbury: 1.5 MW ground-mounted project sited on a capped landfill;
  • New York State Department of Environmental Conservation-owned landfill, 51 Luzerne Road, Queensbury: 2.1 MW ground-mounted project sited on a capped landfill;
  • Cool Insuring Arena, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Glens Falls: 280 kW DC rooftop project;
  • Glens Falls Department of Public Works, 230 Dix Ave.: 123 kW DC rooftop project.

Submissions are strongly encouraged to incorporate battery energy storage systems (BESS) where possible.

The selected proposer will sell to the city, through a 20- or 25-year PPA, all of the electricity and attributes generated by the systems from the sites at a competitive price that will deliver cost savings.

A Message to All

If the question at left were posed to me, I would respond: love one another.

Below is the seal of the school I attended as a boy. The motto in ancient Greek, close to the bottom, is pronounced “fuh-LAY-ta uh-LAY-loose,” and translates into English as exactly that–love one another.

This concept sits at the basis of Quakerism, the principle upon which the Willliam Penn Charter School (“PC”) in Philadelphia was founded in 1689.  We are all equal.  We all share “personhood.”

To most PC graduates, it’s weird when we hear, for instance, that the Christians and the Muslims or that the Sunnis and the Shiites “don’t get along.”  Can’t we just knock off this mean and childish behavior? Our common humanity sits right in front of our noses.

The cave drawings at Lascaux that were made 40,000 years ago reveal something very important.  We today are no different from the people living at that time in any way that is fundamental or basic.  We all love our children, and we all gaze at the sky, contemplating the wonders of the universe.

Harming each other is the repellant to our minds.

Huge Corporations Are Slapping Their Customers in the Face

What do you notice about the shopping bag in the photo?

It has no handles.

That’s right, Albertson’s, with annual revenues of more than $83 billion, has decided to inconvenience its customers, forcing them to wrap both of their arms around their grocery bags to get them into and out of their shopping carts, into and out of their cars, and finally into their homes.

The savings?  From what I can learn from AI, the answer is somewhere around $0.12 each. If you’re interested, you can Google: “cost per 1000000 paper grocery bags.”

I understand that grocery stores operate on low margins, but if it were my decision to make, I wouldn’t be deliberately pissing off my customers, many of them elderly, who are spending $100 for a bag of my groceries in order to save 12 cents.

Yet the Albertson’s example isn’t unique; in fact, it’s everywhere you go.  Look at your cell phone bill and your streaming services.  Corporate greed is grinding you into the pavement while it relished in your misery.
