Array Technologies broke ground on its new $50 million manufacturing campus in Bernalillo County, N.M., which the company says was made possible through Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits.
“Array’s new manufacturing facility will create good-paying jobs in New Mexico, strengthen the domestic solar supply chain and ultimately help us achieve greater American energy independence,” says Kevin G. Hostetler, chief executive officer of Array Technologies.
“This is a perfect example of government entities working together at all levels to promote pro-growth policies that create American jobs and support local businesses. With federal action like the Inflation Reduction Act and the support of state and local officials, Array is proud to be at the forefront of the solar energy boom.”
The 216,000-square-foot campus, located on Albuquerque’s west side, is slated to facilitate the company’s production, assembly, design, engineering and customer service.
In addition to the IRA tax credits, the expansion was also made possible in part by economic assistance from the Local Economic Development Act job-creation fund, awarded by the state. Additional support from the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County included LEDA funds and partial property-tax abatement through an Industrial Revenue Bond.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and Bernalillo County Commission Chair Barbara Baca joined in the groundbreaking ceremony.

There Are Some High-Powered Trump Supporters, But Why?
What kind of people are the celebrities in music and digital media as a whole? Not an easy question to answer.
Obviously, they’re talented. Most are well educated and many have the good looks that come from good genetics.
And yes, most of these people have the intelligence to see that Donald Trump is a criminal sociopath on target to destroy the U.S. while enriching himself beyond measure.
For every Jon Voight (see left) that are perhaps 1000 Robert Deniros, Bruce Springteens, and Leonardo Dicaprios.
But why are there any Jon Voights at all? The answer is unclear.
I once met a Princeton grad to whom I explained that a guy from my prep school in Philadelphia went to Princeton, and now is all over social media shouting, “Close the Borders!” and “English Only!”
My new acquaintance laughed hysterically, and said with a smile, “Yes, we have grads like this, perhaps one in a few thousand. What a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can get that level of education by dropping out of high school and driving a truck.”

Republicans Who Are Saying: ENOUGH!
At left we see an example of a phenomenon that seems to be happening with increasing frequency: a life-long Republican saying “enough” and refusing vote for the current version of the GOP.
I applaud people who have both:
a) the intelligence to see where a party has crossed a moral line, and is now operating as a criminal enterprise.
b) the inner courage to do this, as it is hard for most people to admit they were wrong after a lifetime of kneejerk reactions, especially on a topic of such importance.
