The AES Corporation announced it had completed 3.5 GW of renewables projects in 2023, nearly doubling the capacity constructed compared to the previous year.

“In 2023, AES completed the construction of 3.5 GW of new renewables,” says Andrés Gluski, AES president and CEO. “This construction milestone represents a new record and a growth rate of nearly 100% over 2022. Including these newly added projects, AES’ portfolio of renewables now reaches 18.4 GW.”

Of the 3.5 GW of projects that AES completed, 1.6 GW are solar, 1.3 GW are wind and 0.6 GW are energy storage. Examples of notable projects completed in 2023 include:

  • Great Cove Solar, a 220 MW project comprised of two facilities in Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pa., being commissioned in multiple phases. University of Pennsylvania will purchase all electricity produced at the sites. 
  • Chevelon Butte Wind, a 238 MW wind project, and Phase 1 of a 454 MW wind facility in Coconino and Navajo counties, Ariz. The project is sited on the Chevelon Butte Ranch, one of the oldest working cattle ranches in Arizona. 
  • McFarland A Solar-plus-Storage, a 200 MW solar and 100 MW energy storage project located in Yuma County, Ariz.

The Downside of Social Media

At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB.  A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:

  • This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
  • Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
  • Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.

Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.

This Is a Big Ask

To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.

OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.

Please tell me there is a limit.

Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
