Terrasmart, the renewable energy arm of Gibraltar Industries, and Melink Solar have completed the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s new solar carport.

Terrasmart designed and manufactured the 2.8 MW project’s racking system, performing the installation in partnership with lead EPC Melink Solar. With this solar carport, the zoo’s total 4.55 MW of on-site solar capacity meets two-thirds of its power needs.

“Executing this project for the Cincinnati Zoo aligns deeply with our mission to build sustainability for our clients,” says Melink Solar CEO Seth Parker. “We are honored to support the zoo’s commitment to environmental stewardship and proud to have collaborated with all of our partners on this project.”

The system integrated 5,000 bifacial modules connected via string inverter technology. The carport will provide shade for about 800 vehicles.

To help offset energy poverty in the neighborhood, the zoo also has financed an additional 165 kW of solar panels through its Community Solar Resiliency Program to support smaller local installations.

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

Published

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.
