Solential Energy has activated its Fort Wayne, Ind., microgrid, which was designed, built and installed by the company and enables the city to self-generate power for its water and sewer utilities. 

Last September, Solential installed a floating solar panel array comprising 12,000 solar panels atop the municipality’s water pollution control storage ponds. It supplies 40% of the energy necessary to power the Three Rivers Filtration Plant, the Water Pollution Control Plant and the Wet-Weather Pump Station.

The microgrid design integrates solar power with biogas generated from food waste and natural gas engines.

With the operational costs for these facilities totaling about $2.8 million in 2023, the company says, city officials project that the microgrid will generate $8 million in savings over the project’s lifetime.

Philosophy on the Decline

At left is a good example of what I mean by: “The last 150 years hasn’t been good for philosophers.”

In the late 19th Century, a question like this was the purview of philosophy.  Now it’s the domain for neuroscientists.

Similarly, the question: “what are the ultimate building blocks of the universe” was fodder for everyone from the ancient Greek philosophers up to the far more recent metaphysicians. Now we ask particle physicists.

Joke on MAGA Attire

This is funny, but in actuality, sane people don’t physically attack the MAGA crowd; in fact, we don’t even make snide comments.

We keep our thoughts to ourselves.  We may feel sorry for these people’s moral depravity and/or stupidity.  We may be angry that the country that was once the envy of the world is now viewed with ridicule and disdain in its path to become irrelevant in global affairs.

But messing with hateful morons in red hats isn’t helping anyone.
