Castillo Engineering has been selected by Recon Corporation to provide design and engineering services on two new community solar projects in Illinois, totaling 15 MW. 

Part of the Illinois Shines or Adjustable Block Program, the two 7.5 MW projects are located in the cities of Pontiac and Odell and will use single axis trackers. The projects are expected to break ground and reach completion over the course of next year. 

This announcement comes after Castillo secured a portfolio of three projects, totaling 23 MW, with Recon in the first quarter of this year.

“We’re grateful to have yet another opportunity to work alongside an industry leader like Recon Corporation in the Midwest,” says Christopher Castillo, CEO of Castillo Engineering. “Their expertise is unmatched in the region and we look forward to helping them efficiently execute this additional set of impactful community solar projects.”

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget.  Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means.  What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country.  Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.

LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?

It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.

People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species.  Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed.  They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.

As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
