Apex Clean Energy has contracted its 125 MW Wheatsborough Solar project in Ohio under the Microsoft–Volt Energy Utility Environmental Justice Framework as a minority-owned solar energy development firm.
Developed under the framework of leveraging corporate emissions goals to support environmental justice, community and diversity initiatives, the contracted PPA is meant to prioritize more equitable distribution of the benefits of the clean energy economy.
A percentage of the revenue produced by the PPA will be invested into the Sharing the Power Foundation, focused on environmental health and economic justice in historically underserved urban and rural communities. The project will also fund community and conservation grants and clean energy workforce development through the Apex Conservation Grant Program.
“Developing renewable energy projects that are reliable and sustainable is imperative; prioritizing equitable deployment will further elevate our industry’s overall impact,” says Ken Young, CEO of Apex. “This agreement allows Wheatsborough Solar to move beyond the megawatt, creating a lasting impact in the local community and beyond.”
The project is expected to come online in the first half of next year.

This Week’s Flywheel Scam
When 2GreenEnergy was launched in 2009, there was still some talk about flywheels as potentially scalable solutions for energy storage. But in the last 10 years, no one’s heard a peep about this subject from any credible source.
Of course, now we have charlatans coming out of the woodwork, calling on idiots to invest in clean energy “technologies” that are totally nonsensical, like these conmen.
In today’s world where honesty is a joke, you can count on criminal liars to emerge from the shadows to rip off a few (or many) idiots.

Lessons from the Ancient Greeks
It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.
Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.
Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.
We regard the underclass as animals; others regard everyone as a human being.

Ben Carson Comes Through Again
This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.
