D3Energy has cut the ribbon on what it calls Utah’s first floating solar array, which the company developed at the Signal Hill Water Treatment Plant. 

Operated by Mountain Regional Water, the 600kW system, developed in collaboration with Ameresco, is expected to offset 90% of the plant’s power. The project utilizes Ciel & Terre’s Hydrelio floating system.

“Water treatment plants, like Signal Hill, are ideal candidates for floating solar due to the large, often unused water surfaces they manage,” says Stetson Tchividjian, managing director at D3Energy.

“This technology allows facilities to reduce energy costs and their environmental footprint while optimizing available resources.”

The Signal Hill project joins D3Energy’s portfolio of floating solar systems at water treatment facilities. This year, the company installed Ohio’s first floating array at Del-Co Water, as well as a system for Orange County Utilities.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget.  Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means.  What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do.  You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country.  Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

I see.

There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.

LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?

Published

It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.

People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species.  Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed.  They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.

As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
