First Solar has inaugurated its new vertically integrated solar manufacturing plant, in Tamil Nadu, India. 

The facility has an annual expected capacity of 3.3 GW and produces the company’s Series 7 PV modules, developed at the company’s U.S. research and development centers and optimized for the India market.

Representing an investment of approximately $700M, which includes $500M in previously announced DFC financing, the facility is First Solar’s sixth operational factory.

“The inauguration of this landmark manufacturing facility and the launch of commercial shipments to customers in India is a crucial milestone in our journey to long-term and sustainable growth,” says Mark Widmar, CEO, First Solar. “The speed with which we were able to build and commission this facility is a testament to the policies of India’s Federal and the Tamil Nadu state governments.”

The factory, located in an area of high baseline water stress, is designed to minimize its impact on local resources and instead relies on tertiary-treated reverse osmosis water from the city’s sewage treatment plant and have zero wastewater discharge.

The Sharia Law Onslaught

Here’s an ultra-right-winger who thinks that his voters are so stupid that they’ll believe that U.S. courts are routinely sentencing thieves to have their hands amputated.

We have huge problems in this country, but the “onslaught” of Sharia Law isn’t one of them.

This is a fine example of the decay of American education. Think back to when you were in junior high school.  If someone said something like this, wouldn’t you have asked, “Are you serious? Radical Islam has usurped the U.S. Constitution?  Can you provide any evidence to support this?

Now, we accept it, because some Trump supporter in congress tells us it’s true.

Forget about the Epstein files and the overt corruption in the White House.  Let’s focus on Sharia Law.

The World Mourns for the United States

What the boob at left is saying is partially true, in that only some people in the rest of the world are laughing at the United States.

The vast majority of people I meet from other countries are crying, not literally, but they almost uniformly express their astonishment and profound sorrow that the former envy of the world could have been reduced to a banana republic — and in such a short period of time.

It’s Hard to Understand Those Who Don’t Vote

It’s hard to understand how someone can be so apathetic that they sit out an election where what’s at stake is American democracy.

Suppose you’re one of the idiots who believes that Trump is an honest and effective leader, that the 2020 election was rigged, etc.  Wouldn’t you go vote for the Republicans in the midterms?

Suppose you understand that Trump is a pathological liar who has wreaked great damage on our nation.  Wouldn’t you want to vote against the Republicans?
