Deriva Energy has acquired Spanish Peaks Solar, a 140 MW solar project in Las Animas County, Colo., from power developer JUWI.

With the addition of the site, Deriva Energy will own and operate 388 MW in Colorado and is set to provide energy to Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association through a 19-year PPA.

“We are excited to announce the successful acquisition of this promising solar project,” says Chris Fallon, Deriva Energy president. “This project underscores our commitment to implementing solutions for a viable energy future. We are thrilled to collaborate with JUWI again in Colorado to create job opportunities, provide clean energy solutions for Tri-State customers, and support the economic growth of Las Animas County.”

Spanish Peaks commenced construction and is expected to come online in the last quarter of this year. JUWI is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the project. Solar modules will be procured by Deriva, who will own the plant and share operations and maintenance responsibilities with JUWI.

Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association Tri-State is a not-for-profit power supply cooperative of 45 members and includes 42 utility electric distribution cooperative and public power district members in four states.

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?”

Published

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

Published

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.
