The Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) has granted Chaberton Energy‘s 7.65 MW Project Bonneville a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, allowing the community solar project in Jarrettsville in Harford County to move forward.
The company says this is the first time a community solar project has been recommended under Maryland’s Power Plant Research Program (PPRP), which coordinates the state’s comprehensive review of proposed power generating and transmission facilities. The PPRP was designed so that regulators could ensure applications are vetted before being sent to the PSC.
“Maryland is one of the most supportive states in the nation for community solar projects,” says Stefano Ratti, Chaberton’s CEO and founder.
“We are proud to play a leading role in our home state, and we hope that other states will follow Maryland’s example in promoting critical clean energy infrastructure.”
Chaberton has more than 190 MW of community solar projects in development and construction in Maryland.
Once constructed, the Bonneville project will occupy 37 acres of a 186-acre plot of land. It is set to include pollinator habitat.

We Need to Choose Our Online Influencers More Carefully
Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.
Yes, Lucy. I think most of us already knew that.
It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.
They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?

Are We that Dumb?
Yes, part of this is stupidity. But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.
I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand. She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end. I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.

Trump and the Declaration of Independence
Those who stand in opposition to the president have dozens of different reasons for their feelings. One, as is on display here, is that he’s an ignoramus.
