Brookfield Renewable U.S. has filed a Notice of Intent (NOI) has been filed with the Oregon Department of Energy to develop the Speedway Solar and Battery Storage Project, located east of Grass Valley, Ore.

Once completed, the facility is expected to generate 900 MW. The project is located next to an existing transmission line, which the company says eliminates the need for additional transmission lines to reach the grid. It adds that the design of the solar arrays will be in “ribbons” along the edges of fields to protect existing agricultural and wildlife corridors.

“We are pleased to deliver the NOI and take this significant step forward in developing the Speedway Project,” says John Soininen, vice president of development at Brookfield Renewable U.S.

“We are grateful for the warm welcome we have received in Sherman County and look forward to building long-term relationships throughout the community.”

I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.

There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.

As we all know, the GOP will stop at nothing to win the midterms, thus making it impossible to remove the sociopathic criminal from the White House.

But did any of us see this coming?

Macabre.

A Profile in Corporate Greed

I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.

As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”

She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
