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.”

I saw an interview earlier today, in which a TV news journalist (I forget which one) predicted that the threat of communism is going to be the central theme of the Republican leading up to the midterm elections.

This makes sense, given that the target audience is largely unaware that:

In the 1950s, Senator Joseph McCarthy led this nation through a nightmarish effort to imprison anyone with any ties to communism.  This is now regarded as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

and

There are dozens of social democracies around the globe that offer the citizens extremely high qualities of life. The countries at the top of the World Happiness Rankings are, in order,

  • Finland (Score: 7.764)
  • Iceland (Score: 7.540)
  • Denmark (Score: 7.539)
  • Costa Rica (Score: 7.439)
  • Sweden (Score: 7.255)
  • Norway (Score: 7.242)
  • The Netherlands (Score: 7.223)

Now, many MAGA folks can’t find Finland on a map of the world, but it’s that very level of ignorance that makes all this horsecrap work.

NOAA Set Up Website — for You

Trump is working hard to dismantling NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the largest collection of American scientists focusing on climate change.  He proposed a budget cut of $1.7 billion, or about 27% for 2026. More to the point, he shut down NOAA’s website, that, formerly, gave everyone on Earth the ability to look at key climate-related data.

In response, those scientists, knowing that we can no longer trust the U.S. government for real climate science, have set up Climate.us

Looks great to me!
