CleanCapital has added a 6.4 MW solar project, Warrior, to its portfolio, located at WM’s closed Mohawk Valley Sanitary Landfill in Frankfort, N.Y. 

The project is set to provide clean energy to low-income subscribers within the Expanded – Solar For All community solar program.

This project, acquired last August, marks the latest addition to CleanCapital’s Adirondacks portfolio. Construction of the Warrior solar project began shortly after the building permit was issued at the time of acquisition, with major construction complete in June.

The project is built on a closed landfill and a borrow pit, which presented specific engineering and environmental considerations. For the portion on the capped landfill, solar arrays sit on concrete blocks engineered to spread the array’s weight while contouring to the property.

The borrow pit section uses traditional driven piles to support the solar array.

“Developing solar projects on environmentally sensitive land is not an easy feat, but our expertise and experience developing solar and storage projects enabled us to do so with Warrior,” says Paul Curran, CDO at CleanCapital.

“With the addition of this project to our portfolio, we look forward to expanding access to community solar to disadvantaged communities, achieving savings for low-income customers and helping in the fight to address the climate crisis.”

The Warrior solar project marks a collaboration between CleanCapital, EDF Renewables, WM and the Herkimer County IDA. EDF Renewables negotiated the lease with WM and the Herkimer County IDA.

Trumpism Has Its Humorous Side

Apparently, this guy believes that the majority of Americans think poorly of Trump supporters, and wonders if this the message we want to send.

News flash: This is precisely the message we want to send.

I wonder what his doctorate is in.  Filth? Debauchery? White collar felonies?  War crimes?

What Does “Support” Actually Mean?

The idiot’s t-shirt shown here raises the question: How do you define the word “support?”

In a certain sense, I support all countries, insofar as the people living in each deserve to live freely.

As an American, I support the United States.  I revere it for its strengths, while I advocate for remedying its considerable set of weaknesses: corruption, injustice, racism, indifference to human suffering, militarism, and greed.

Stupidity and Racism: A Lethal Combination

Published

BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
The firestorm started Sunday when Bo French, the GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of University of Texas football fans, “most of them people of color,” writing that “the problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined,” according to Politico.
The post appeared to target South Asian students and sent Texas Republicans into a panic over the damage it could do “down the ballot,” including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s struggling Senate bid and Abbott’s own reelection.
Before the Republican party aligned itself with rank stupidity, tacit racism was not really a huge problem.  Now, however, we have the equivalent of mixing alcohol with opiates, a deadly combination, which has made the midterms very tough for the GOP–even in Texas.
