Catalyze has announced it will be heading operations at two Lancaster, N.Y. solar sites, totaling over 12 MW.

The first site is a 6.63 MW community solar project with Finger Lakes Health as the anchor commercial utility off-taker. The second 6.06 MW site will offer remote net crediting, providing an additional opportunity for the off-takers. While the sites are co-located, they connect to the New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) distribution infrastructure by two different interconnection points.

“We’re proud to support New York’s efforts in expanding solar energy access to commercial and mass market energy users that may not have the option of putting solar on their own building,” says Jared Haines, CEO of Catalyze. “This project further demonstrates renewable energy’s role in supporting local economies, and we will continue to look for opportunities that both accelerate the clean energy transition and create value from unused space.”

AC Power initially developed the two projects. Catalyze now owns and operates the two solar sites on what was formerly a landfill.

Ampion, a community solar subscription management company, enrolled Finger Lakes Health, the town of Hector’s municipal services and other subscribers to the sites.

I saw an interview earlier today, in which a TV news journalist (I forget which one) predicted that the threat of communism is going to be the central theme of the Republican leading up to the midterm elections.

This makes sense, given that the target audience is largely unaware that:

In the 1950s, Senator Joseph McCarthy led this nation through a nightmarish effort to imprison anyone with any ties to communism. This is now regarded as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

and

There are dozens of social democracies around the globe that offer the citizens extremely high qualities of life. The countries at the top of the World Happiness Rankings are, in order,

Finland (Score: 7.764)
Iceland (Score: 7.540)
Denmark (Score: 7.539)
Costa Rica (Score: 7.439)
Sweden (Score: 7.255)
Norway (Score: 7.242)
The Netherlands (Score: 7.223)

Now, many MAGA folks can’t find Finland on a map of the world, but it’s that very level of ignorance that makes all this horsecrap work.

Trump is working hard to dismantling NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the largest collection of American scientists focusing on climate change. He proposed a budget cut of $1.7 billion, or about 27% for 2026. More to the point, he shut down NOAA’s website, that, formerly, gave everyone on Earth the ability to look at key climate-related data.
