rPlus Energies has finalized a long-term PPA with Idaho Power and Meta for the 125 MW Pleasant Valley Solar 2 facility in Ada County, Idaho. 

The first phase of this project, the 200 MW Pleasant Valley Solar 1, was also developed by the company and is under construction. It is now majority-owned by Matrix Renewables and set to reach commercial operation next year.

Both projects will deliver solar energy to Idaho Power’s grid and support Meta’s data center in Kuna, Idaho.

This project is being developed through Idaho Power’s Clean Energy Your Way – Construction Program, which provides options for businesses looking to meet corporate sustainability or carbon emission goals.

“We’re excited to be partnering again with Idaho Power and Meta on Pleasant Valley Solar 2,” says Luigi Resta, president and CEO of rPlus Energies.

“Strong partnerships make all stages of development and construction smoother, and we certainly have that with these two. We look forward to breaking ground in the coming months and contributing another significant project to Idaho’s renewable energy landscape.”

Construction of Pleasant Valley Solar 2 is slated to begin later this year.

Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.

If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?

He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.

The Existence of God

I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion.  No one knows how the universe got here.

The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics.  How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.

I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?

More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God.  Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays.  In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell.  To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?

Some of us believe anything we want to.
