Salt River Project (SRP) and NextEra Energy Resources have put the 260 MW Sonoran Solar Energy Center, located south of Buckeye, Ariz., into operation. 

The solar facility can additionally charge a 1 GWh BESS, which the company says is the largest in the state. The center is expected to help match the electricity consumed by Google’s forthcoming data center campus in Mesa, with any unused energy going to other SRP customers.

The joint company effort is also slated to support Google through the Storey Energy Center, an 88 MW solar and BESS in Coolidge, Ariz., and the still under development 161 MW wind facility, Babbitt Ranch Energy Center, in Coconino County.

“SRP and the Valley are fortunate to have sustainability focused organizations like Google located here who help accelerate the transition to carbon-free power resources,” says SRP’s Bobby Olsen. “We also value our partnerships with developers like NextEra Energy Resources who support SRP in developing renewable resources in a rapid timeframe as we prioritize delivering affordable, reliable and sustainable power to all SRP customers.”

ExxonMobil Lowering Carbon Emissions? Sure.

Exxon: We’re investing in innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions while supporting the needs of heavy industry.

As a marketing consultant, here’s my advice to Exxon:

Keep your money in your pockets.  There is no conceivable investment in public relations that will convince us, as stupid as we may be as a nation, that you care a damn about the health of our planet’s environment, or about the wellbeing of life on Earth.

Gallup Disappears into Ignominy

Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.

Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.

Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi.  How sickened would you be?

Trump Digs Coal

From “The Other 98”

Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.

Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.

Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?

Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.
