Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy has secured $160 million in financing for its 127 MW Bayou Galion Solar project, located in Louisiana’s Morehouse Parish. 

Microsoft will purchase 100% of the energy and renewable credits produced by the project, which is currently under construction and expected to be operational by fall.

Recurrent began development of Bayou Galion Solar in 2018 and commenced construction last December, selecting Primoris Renewables as its engineering, procurement and construction partner. Once construction is completed, Recurrent will own and operate the project.

“We are very pleased to announce the successful close of project financing and PPA signing for Bayou Galion Solar in Louisiana,” says Ismael Guerrero, CEO of Recurrent Energy. “This project represents an important milestone as we continue to advance our pipeline in new markets and increase project ownership. Bayou Galion Solar extends our relationship with our esteemed partners at MUFG and establishes a new relationship with Microsoft, one of the world’s largest renewable energy power buyers.”

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group acted as coordinating lead arranger for the financing.

ExxonMobil Lowering Carbon Emissions? Sure.

Exxon: We’re investing in innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions while supporting the needs of heavy industry.

As a marketing consultant, here’s my advice to Exxon:

Keep your money in your pockets.  There is no conceivable investment in public relations that will convince us, as stupid as we may be as a nation, that you care a damn about the health of our planet’s environment, or about the wellbeing of life on Earth.

Gallup Disappears into Ignominy

Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.

Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.

Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi.  How sickened would you be?

Trump Digs Coal

Published

From “The Other 98”

Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.

Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.

Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?

Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.
