The Department of Defense (DoD) has partnered with Duke Energy to power five military installations in North and South Carolina with carbon-free electricity. 

As part of this agreement, DoD will be the exclusive purchaser of all output generated by two new solar facilities in South Carolina.

“This is a significant step forward,” says DoD’s Brendan Owens. 

“By supporting the construction of new clean, renewable energy, we are enhancing our resilience in support of the warfighter and DoD’s mission.  We are also supporting President Biden’s ambitious energy, jobs and American manufacturing goals. DoD is playing our part to transform the power grid towards a strategically important resilient, clean energy future.”

The military installations being powered by the procurement include U.S. Army Fort Liberty, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, as well as Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.

Expected to be operational in 2026, these arrays will deliver power exclusively to DoD over the agreement’s 15-year term.

Will Mr. Pillow Become the Next Governor of Minnesota?

According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, if the election were held today, Mike Lindell would lose to Amy Klobuchar by a margin of 53% to 31%.

Now, exactly what does that translate to in terms of a probability of Lindell’s winning?  I’m unaware of a scientific method of making that calculation, but it can’t be more than 1 or 2 percent.  Perhaps the same as a three-legged horse winning the Kentucky Derby this coming May.

Minnesota is one of the least favorable states in the union for a moron Trump supporting liar, who lost a $2.3 million defamation suit when he claimed that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the 2020 election in favor of Biden.

Sure, California or Massachusetts would be worse, but most Minnesotans are well educated and affluent people with solid moral values.

Waste Tire to Fuels

Published

It’s nice see that the company at left says that its “goal” is waste tire to fuels, rather than that it actually doing so, which would be a lie, albeit one that is commonly told.

About 15 years ago, there were many dozens of organizations working on this, but none of them succeeded, because the a) the technology wasn’t mature, and b) the whole enterprise wasn’t cost effective.

When Did America Turn Mean?

I would say it happened when Donald Trump entered the political scene in 2015 and wasn’t immediately laughed off the stage.

I remember calling my mother in disbelief and asking her if there wasn’t an unwritten rule that a successful presidential candidate has to be a decent and honorable human being.  Sure, we elected Nixon (twice), but we didn’t know he was a criminal at the time.
