Zoo New England’s Stone Zoo has brought its solar array into operation, providing what the zoo says is 95% of its power needs.
The array was constructed in the zoo parking lot, giving the zoo an opportunity to demonstrate the use of this technology with its visitors.
“We are absolutely thrilled that the solar array project is now complete, and generating clean energy,” says John Linehan, president and CEO of Zoo New England.
“Conservation is the cornerstone of our mission, and this project is in perfect alignment with our work to preserve and protect wildlife and habitats, while creating a more sustainable future for us all. Nature has great healing capacity and, if given the chance, can be very effective in combating the negative impacts of climate change. This clean energy project and others like it can be part of the climate solution.”
This project was made possible with the help of State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representative Michael Day, who secured $3 million for the array project in 2021 from the Commonwealth.
SolarKal simplified the transition to solar energy. Solect Energy led the design and installation of the zoo’s solar canopy system.

It’s true that Norway is a world leader in renewable energy. To be fair, however, they have a few things going for them.
One is the hydro resource itself, which is enormous, especially considering nation’s small population.
The other, and it’s just as important, is the fact that Norway really wants to remove fossil fuels from its grid-mix. They sport of extremely enlightened people who actually care about the welfare of the people in the world around them
In other posts, we’ve looked at the prospects of a massive refusal on the part of America’s top military to follow a manifestly illegal order, like invading Canada.
What about a less dramatic case? What if I were the chief White House superintendent and Trump told me to bulldoze the East Wing? I’d say, “Sorry, I resign as of this minute. You may find someone who will destroy a national treasure, but it’s sure as hell isn’t going to be me.”
If I were writing the piece at left, I wouldn’t say, “the system is rigged,” because that implies some clandestine.
I would saw the system is designed to make rich people richer, and to ignore the needs of the masses. It’s working exactly as it’s designed to.
Now it’s true that all this is more obvious now than it was 50 years ago when the average American came out of college and got an office job that enabled him to earn a living wage.
