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.

Incompetence? Not Really

Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.

Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices?  Destroying the educational system and the environment?

Not for a millisecond.

When Truth No Longer Matters

Published

One of the casualties of the post-truth era is that the statements of our “leaders” no longer are required to have any basis in fact.  What Jim Jordan says here is a fine example.

When he says “better” here, is he referring to runaway inflation?  Trump’s purposeless and illegal war with no end in sight?  His blatant corruption and criminality? His having, quite successfully, divided the American people into groups that hate each other?  The enrichment of billionaires at the expense of the working class?  The carefully engineered collapse of the environment so as to favor his donors in fossil fuels?  The demise of the U.S. educational system?

Please be clear.
