Birch Creek Energy has completed financing and commenced operation of Altona Solar, a 42 MW utility-scale solar project based in Audrain County, Mo.

This facility, after the 49 MW Earp Solar project in Illinois, is the company’s second project to come online this year as part of its IPP strategy.

“We cannot thank our financing partners enough for their invaluable support as we complete our first project in our home state of Missouri,” says Max Whitacre, EVP of Project Finance for Birch Creek.

“It is such a pleasure working with the Celtic and West Town teams, and we look forward to continued financing with both relationships as we continue to build out our IPP.”

Tax equity was provided by Celtic Bank, who also participated in the Earp project. Permanent debt was provided by West Town Bank & Trust.

The project is sited on 208 acres and connects to Ameren Missouri.

Do Oil Wells Dropped by Big Oil Represent an Investment Opportunity?

Two comments:

1) If you want to a part of the environmental collapse that is coming from our civilization’s continued reliance of fossil fuels, you’re morally defective. In the parlance of the common man, you’re an asshole.

2) If you think there is profit available from investing in oil wells that the most sophisticated petroleum engineers turned done, you’re a total moron.

The Haves and the Have-Nots

I met a professional investor today whom I asked for his prognostication about the U.S. economy.  He replied that the only thing he’s sure of is the growing chasm between the rich and poor, a point to which we agreed.

We’re living through the dying days of free-market capitalism.  Rich people have cracked the code to increasing their wealth without limit at the expense of everyone else on Earth.  They own our congress, as evidenced by the congressional Republicans, who kowtow to Donald Trump and their billionaire donors.

In the United States, morality has increasingly ebbed away to the point that trying to live a life of honesty and decency has become a joke.

One may think that the working class would be getting tired of being ground into the pavement by corporate greed, but no, they regard people like us as woke, socialist losers, so any attempt to turn this around appears to be going lightly nowhere.

As shown above, Bernie Sanders hasn’t lost hope.
