Canadian Premium Sand (CPS) has provided an operational update for both its pattern solar glass manufacturing facility in Selkirk, Manitoba, as well as its plans for a pattern solar glass manufacturing facility in the United States.
To advance the previously announced $272 million in support for the Selkirk project, the company has submitted the application for $100 million in non-dilutive financial support and is now entering the due diligence phase. It is working on formalizing elements of the $72 million in financial support from the Province of Manitoba and has held discussions with Manitoba-based indigenous groups related to their participation in the project of $100 million utilizing the federal Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program.
In the U.S., the company evaluated sites with existing and under-utilized buildings, utility supply, logistics infrastructure and environmental permits to support a domestic pattern solar glass manufacturing operation. It selected a site meeting these criteria.
The company is currently preparing plans to repurpose a former glass manufacturing facility in the U.S. to produce 4 GW per year of solar glass and is advancing discussions with a potential strategic glass manufacturing partner to jointly develop this site.
“Establishing 10 GW supply of both low-carbon and U.S. manufactured ultra clear pattern solar glass aligns CPS with the supply chain goals of our North American customers,” says Glenn Leroux, president and CEO of CPS. “Alignment with a strategic glass manufacturing partner supports the execution of our North American strategy and vision.”

When You’re Addressing Idiots You Can Get Away with a Lot
At left we have John Fetterman talking to people so stupid they’ll believe that it would have been wrong for the British colonists to oppose King George III in the late 18th Century, or for the people of Germany and Italy in the 1930s to stand up against Hitler and Mussolini. What about the people in today’s dictatorships, i.e., the people in Russia, China, North Korea, or any of the other 50+ authoritarian regimes around the world?
Morons tend to agree with the loudest, most aggressive voice of nationalism, regardless of how little sense it makes.
It’s a great moment of opportunity for Fetterman.

Carl Sagan and the Suppression of Uncomfortable Ideas
Seminal astrophysicist Carl Sagan explains why uncomfortable ideas may be banned in religion, they must not be shunned in science.
This is an important concept in American life today, as conspiracy theorists are convinced that climate change denial cannot be considered in scientific circles.
I happened to bring this up in my interview with Dr. V. Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution, who has been amassing data on global warming since the 1970s. He laughed, and explained, “If I could prove that human activity was not causing temperatures to rise, I’d be be one of the wealthiest and most famous scientists in world history.”

We Came Incredible Close to Averting the Disaster that Is Donald Trump
As suggested at left, a great deal of the hardship that has befallen the U.S. was simply bad luck. Al Gore came within a whisker of victory in 2000, a win that would have forever changed the course of our nation in terms of energy policy, education, healthcare, and international affairs.
If Bernie had become the 2016 nominee, we wouldn’t have had Hillary Clinton telling our country’s most mean-spirited and least-educated people that they were “deplorables,” ushering a criminal sociopath into the White House.
