Arevon Energy has begun operations at its Vikings Solar+Storage Project in Imperial County, Calif., near Holtville. 

The $529 million project includes 157 MW of solar coupled with 150 MW of battery energy storage.

“Vikings’ advanced design sets the standard for safe and reliable solar+storage configurations,” says Kevin Smith, CEO at Arevon 

“The project incorporates solar panels, trackers and batteries that showcase the growing strength of U.S. renewable energy manufacturing. Its completion marks a significant milestone for Arevon, as we continue to meet California’s clean energy needs while advancing energy security and independence nationwide.”

Megapack battery energy storage systems for the project were manufactured by Tesla in Lathrop, Calif., First Solar provided thin film PV solar panels and Nextracker provided smart solar trackers. San Diego-headquartered SOLV Energy led the EPC activities.

San Diego Community Power is the project’s offtaker through a long-term agreement with Arevon. The companies have also executed a commercial agreement for Arevon’s 200 MW Avocet Energy Storage Project located in the City of Carson, Calif., which is expected to start construction next year.

Consider the meme here, and then remember that the nine of the ten poorest states in the U.S. (Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virgina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina) are all bright red.

How do they get away with stupidity like this?

Well, there’s the bottom of the state rankings for education:

  • 46. Mississippi
  • 47. Kentucky
  • 48. Louisiana
  • 49. Arkansas
  • 50. West Virginia

Do you see any correlation?

Good question here at left.

To me, it depends.

If the person seems intelligent enough to be able to hold a thought in his head that opposes his current beliefs, I’d actively encourage the discussion.  Otherwise, I’m out.  No need to raising someone’s temper for no reason or gain.

Emigrating to a Social Democracy

To the jackass who sent me the meme here: What about the 5 million Americans who moved to Canada? What about the steady flow of Americans expatriating to Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland and Northern Europe?

My wife and I have two kids and a grandchild in the States, and we have a gaggle of medicos to address the various health conditions associated with aging.  If that weren’t the case, I’d be writing this from Stockholm or Aukland.

I wouldn’t be looking for a “utopia,” just an escape from the frustration, anger, and sadness that I feel every day, as I watch the country I love deteriorate into authoritarianism.
