Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) through its flagship funds has taken final investment decision and commenced construction on a 500 MW energy storage system in Coalburn, Scotland. 

The facility is the first project to be developed from the partnership between CIP and Alcemi to deploy 4 GW of energy storage assets across the UK and will be one of the largest of its kind in Europe, says the company.

The Coalburn 1 facility has been developed with landscaping and ecological mitigation measures, including the maintenance of peat reserves, as well as tree and wildflower promoting biodiversity across the site.

“Achieving final investment decision on one of the largest battery projects in Europe is a significant milestone for CIP,” says Nischal Agarwal, partner at CIP.

“It demonstrates CIP’s industrial approach in identifying a market need and delivering a large-scale project with a robust contractual framework with high quality partners and counterparties. The integration of renewable energy into the energy system requires significant investment into storage solutions and we have a significant pipeline of storage projects across the world which we hope to build in the years ahead.”

Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE will deliver their proprietary energy storage solution, SolBank, while H&MV Engineering will undertake the balance of plant works. SSE Energy Markets will provide the optimisation services for the project.

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology

I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea.  But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.

Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom?  And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial

Published

on

In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child.  I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.

They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.

Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children.  If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.

If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math.  Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?

Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”

That seems just fine.
