Avangrid has partnered with a local rancher to graze sheep at two solar farms in Oregon and Washington, launching what it calls the largest “solar grazing” operation in the region. 

The company began employing the vegetation management method using grazing livestock last year with a pilot project at Pachwáywit Fields, Ore. It has since expanded the pilot into a full operation at the site, and launched a similar operation at its Lund Hill solar farm in Klickitat County, Wash.

At the spring peak, there were 5,000 sheep spread across both facilities.

“Avangrid is one of the most sustainable companies in the world and this is yet another example of our hardworking teams taking an innovative approach to solving complex problems,” says Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO.

“These sheep are not only a more environmentally friendly solution to manage the vegetation, but help us support the local community and contribute to a circular economy in the Pacific Northwest.”

The sheep at these sites belong to Cameron Krebs, a fifth generation Oregon rancher.

Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) Endorses Mike Lindell

Here’s another reminder of how far to the extreme low brow right the American conservative movement has swung.

The only political experience Mike Lindell has comes from his having eagerly accepted Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was rigged with massive voter fraud, for which there is exactly zero evidence.

As a consequence, Lindell is facing multiple lawsuits, including a June 2025 verdict ordering him to pay $2.3 million to a former Dominion Voting Systems employee for defamation. He also faces lawsuits from Smartmatic for defamation and a suit over a $3 million unpaid loan.

That’s it, folks. No experiencing running a small town in Alabama, let alone a state full of well-educated progressives in which Trump lost to Kamala Harris by a full 4% in 2024.

My advice to David:

I doubt this misleading crap is going to work in Dallas County, where voters are relatively well educated and sophisticated.

You’ll need to some place full of real bumpkins, which, in Texas, shouldn’t be too great a challenge.

Losing My Religion

Some may find the claim at left compelling.

But consider Japan, China, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland that are almost completely atheist.  The other nations in Western Europe have also steadily moved away from religion.

Have they “lost their countries,” or is this a present-day scare tactic directed by fear-mongers, just as it has been since the Dark Ages?
