Lightsource bp’s 188 MW Honeysuckle solar project in St. Joseph County, Ind. has entered commercial operation. 

“With our project partners, we are supporting the rapidly growing U.S. solar manufacturing sector, local unions and investing in rural America,” says Emilie Wangerman, COO of Lightsource bp USA. 

“Honeysuckle Solar showcases these and other quantifiable benefits Americans are deriving from the Inflation Reduction Act.”

Lightsource bp and Google have signed a PPA for the electricity from Honeysuckle Solar, on the heels of Google’s announcement that they are expanding their Midwest presence with a $2 billion data center campus in Fort Wayne.

South Bend-based Inovateus Solar was the construction contractor for the facility, with participating unions including: IBEW Local 153, IUOE Local 150 and LiUNA Local 645.

The project supported U.S. manufacturers, with solar panels from First Solar, smart solar trackers from Array Technologies and steel from Nucor.

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
