Alliant Energy has completed its Wautoma Solar Project, a 99 MW solar array in the Waushara County town of Dakota and city of Wautoma, spanning 624 acres and consisting of nearly 240,000 solar panels.
“The completion of this project is a major accomplishment that will deliver safe, reliable, cost-effective energy to our customers for decades,” says Alliant’s Ben Lipari.
“This project has been, and will continue to be, a collaborative effort with our participating landowners, local officials and the broader Waushara County community. A unique aspect of our project design included the repurposing of land at the Wautoma airport, which allowed us to diversify the project layout and maximize the value of underutilized land. Our development and construction of this project demonstrated our core values to ‘Act for tomorrow’ and ‘Make things better.’”
Construction on the project began in July 2022 and employed nearly 150 carpenters, electricians, operating engineers and laborers.
“Alliant Energy’s use of local contractors and the skilled craftsmanship of workers hired through local union halls ensured this project was completed safely, cost effectively and on time,” says Ted Gumieny, executive director of Northeastern Wisconsin Building Trades.
“Logging over 210,000 hours work without a single lost-time accident speaks to the importance of safety and the skill that local union workers contributed to this project. The Wautoma Solar Project is a high-quality site that Alliant Energy’s customers and the community can all be proud of.”

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology
I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea. But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.
Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom? And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial
In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child. I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.
They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.
Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children. If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.
If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math. Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?
Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

Pride Flags
To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”
That seems just fine.
