Clearway Energy Group has completed its 452 MW Texas Solar Nova complex in Kent County, Texas, constructed in two phases. 

“We are incredibly grateful for our partnerships with local officials, suppliers, construction partners and customers that made this project possible,” says Valerie Wooley, SVP of Origination at Clearway. “The Texas Solar Nova complex is delivering new renewable power to the ERCOT grid, thanks to the ongoing dedication of our partners. We thank Verizon, SKF and Toyota Boshoku America, among others, for partnering with Clearway to help meet their own decarbonization goals.”

Clearway’s Texas Solar Nova offtake agreements support Citizen Verizon, Verizon’s business plan for economic, environmental and social advancement.

A portion of the renewable attributes from the projects, built on approximately 5,000 acres of land with more than 1.1 million solar panels, will also go toward supporting SKF and Toyota Boshoku America. Clearway and its construction partner, Mortenson, supported several local organizations during construction.

In connection with the construction and operation of these facilities, Clearway assembled a bank consortium consisting of Natixis, DNB, MUFG, NordLB and Societe Generale for a total of approximately $700 million of construction financing commitments and $182 million of term loan commitments. The company arranged tax equity for the project, as well as cash equity from HASI in partnership with Clearway Energy.

It depends on what you believe.

Fox News will tell you that our southern border is no longer being overrun, that we’ve discovered that vaccinations are unsafe, that we’re standing up against Sharia Law, we’re preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon, prices are coming down (or soon will be), Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people and that the U.S. is once again respected on the world stage.

We live in a country where tens of millions of idiots believe every word of this.

A Relief to be around Like-Minded People

Published

I met a guy today from a rural part of Central England–“nothing but farms and pubs,” as he put it.  His father was an epidemiologist working for the United Nations, and so, as a boy, he lived all over the world and grew up largely in developing countries that suffered from horrific diseases.

He and his wife had the conversation one would expect from such people:

  • Why are we so content to ignore climate change that is ruining our planet?
  • Why are people so indifferent to the suffering of others?
  • How is it possible that billionaires expect to live well here on Earth while 99.9% of us suffering with wildfires, devastating storms, blistering heat, losses of landmasses, and desertification?
  • At the end of the day, is money really that precious?

Obviously, not everyone thinks this way, but to be in something of a “lovefest” for just a few minutes was a great relief.
