Con Edison customers are on pace to break last year’s solar installations record as the company continues efforts towards battery storage and electric vehicle charge points, according to its third quarter Clean Energy Update. 

Covering renewables adopted by customers in New York City and Westchester County, the most recent update’s key takeaways include:

  • Company customers have more than 554 MW of rooftop solar generating capacity, led geographically by Westchester.
  • Customers installed 36 MW of storage capacity during the third quarter and have currently completed 556 installations. 
  • Con Edison’s PowerReady program has supported more than 4,600 vehicle charge points since it began in 2020. This year, more than 1,900 points were installed, setting a new company record. 
  • Con Edison’s curbside charging demonstration project with New York City Department of Transportation and FLO, customers have plugged their EVs into curbside charging stations more than 110,000 times, delivering more than 2,400 MWh of driving energy. 

“Con Edison is committed to working with its customers and stakeholders to meet New York’s clean energy goals with the industry-leading reliability our customers expect and deserve,” says Con Edison’s Raghusimha Sudhakara. “We’re thrilled to see our customers embracing solar power, battery storage and EV chargers across our service territory.”

Why Are We Doing This?

I join those who say that the human race has evolved to be tribal and selfish. We are largely indifferent to the needs of others, and the capitalist society we’ve built has only served to reenforce this.

As Tom Waits observed, “We’re monkeys with money and guns.”

Now, are there some extremely decent and kind people spread around the globe?  Of course.  But they tend not to be the billionaires who make all the important decisions as to the how our culture will conduct itself.

Is ir Possible that Republicans “Will Never Win Again?”

Well, never is a long time, as they say.

Yet imagine this scenario, which is quite possible:

Trump is impeached and removed.  Almost immediately, there is an incredible outpouring of information on an additional set of crimes committed by Trump and his administration.  Simultaneously, the U.S. morphs into a social democracy, and its people enjoy quality education, access to healthcare, and prosperity, not unlike those in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the globe.

Yes, there will always be Republicans promising mass deportations and whatever else appeals to a dwindling MAGA base, but I would think they will have one hell of a hard time winning a national election.

Republican Platform Fraught with Credibility Challenges

The GOP can say the American economy is skyrocketing.  But then there’s that nasty little piece of reality that people can’t afford groceries and are suffering financially more generally.

Or they can day that people are suffering financially, but it’s Biden’s fault.  Oops.  Biden left office 588 days ago.

Or they can say that the war in Iran has driven up gas prices, but that will turn immediately because we’ve won the war.  Yikes.  What can we say about all these bombs?

Or they can say that all the racial hatred and divisiveness is Obama’s fault. No, that’s problematic, since he’s been gone for almost 10 years.

Trump supporters may not be too sharp, but even they are having trouble accepting all this crap.
