Alliant Energy has completed its Beaver Dam project, a 50 MW solar array in Dodge County, Wis. spanning 350 acres, as well as its Crawfish River project in the Jefferson County town of Jefferson. 

Beaver Dam consists of nearly 120,000 solar panels and can produce enough energy to power approximately 13,000 homes annually, says the company, while the 75 MW solar array at Crawfish River consists of more than 200,000 solar panels and can produce enough energy to power approximately 20,000 homes annually.

“I started farming early on in my life,” says John Butterbrodt, one of the participating landowners. “When I was the president of the largest dairy co-op in the country, my friends and family all called me ‘The Dairy Farmer.’ Now when we get together, they call me ‘The Solar Farmer’ and I’m proud of that. In recent years, the corn grown on this land went to the ethanol plant. Now with solar panels, the electricity will help power homes and electric cars. It’s a new way of getting energy for the future of our country. This project is a great economic benefit to the community. It’s good for the taxpayers and it’s good for the future generation of our family.”

Construction on Beaver Dam began in September 2022 and employed over 120 carpenters, electricians, operating engineers and laborers. Construction on Crawfish River began in spring 2022 and employed over 400 workers at its peak.

The Sharia Law Onslaught

Published

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

Published

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?
