Origis Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) have announced a PPA to expand their solar and storage portfolio in Mississippi. 

Origis would develop, construct and operate Hope Solar + Storage, a 200 MW solar and 200 MW storage facility, in Clay County, and sell the power to TVA. The project is slated for commercial operation in 2028.

“This partnership connects us to those we serve and is good news for multiple stakeholders,” says Johan Vanhee, chief commercial and procurement officer for Origis Energy. 

“Industrial customers benefit by meeting their decarbonization goals. Residential customers benefit from clean energy that contributes to reliable, affordable, predictable rates. Communities near these projects benefit through the economic activity of construction and job growth from industries these projects attract.”

Prior to this announcement, Origis’ and TVA’s Mississippi renewable energy portfolio included three projects: Golden Triangle II, a 150 MW solar project with 50 MW battery storage in Lowndes County, reached commercial operation earlier this year. Under construction are Golden Triangle I, in Lowndes County, a 200 MW project with 50 MW of battery storage, with commercial operation date expected next year and Optimist in Clay County, a 200 MW project with 50 MW of battery storage, with commercial operation date expected in 2026.

Origis Energy is responsible for development, construction and operation of the projects for TVA. Each site will deliver clean energy at competitive rates under PPAs executed between TVA and Origis.

Apparently, this guy believes that the majority of Americans think poorly of Trump supporters, and wonders if this the message we want to send.

News flash: This is precisely the message we want to send.

I wonder what his doctorate is in.  Filth? Debauchery? White collar felonies?  War crimes?

What Does “Support” Actually Mean?

The idiot’s t-shirt shown here raises the question: How do you define the word “support?”

In a certain sense, I support all countries, insofar as the people living in each deserve to live freely.

As an American, I support the United States.  I revere it for its strengths, while I advocate for remedying its considerable set of weaknesses: corruption, injustice, racism, indifference to human suffering, militarism, and greed.

Stupidity and Racism: A Lethal Combination

BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
The firestorm started Sunday when Bo French, the GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of University of Texas football fans, “most of them people of color,” writing that “the problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined,” according to Politico.
The post appeared to target South Asian students and sent Texas Republicans into a panic over the damage it could do “down the ballot,” including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s struggling Senate bid and Abbott’s own reelection.
Before the Republican party aligned itself with rank stupidity, tacit racism was not really a huge problem.  Now, however, we have the equivalent of mixing alcohol with opiates, a deadly combination, which has made the midterms very tough for the GOP–even in Texas.
