The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is set to provide $475 million in funding for five projects in Arizona, Kentucky, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia on current and former mine land, with the hope that these projects can be replicated in other mining communities across the country.
“President Biden believes that the communities that have powered our nation for the past 100 years should power our nation for the next 100 years,” says U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Thanks to the President’s Investing in America agenda, DOE is helping deploy clean energy solutions on current and former mine land across the country: supporting jobs and economic development in the areas hit hardest by our evolving energy landscape.”
The selected projects cover a range of clean energy technologies, with three projects on former Appalachian coal mines. Projects selected for award negotiation include decarbonizing gold mines in Nevada to develop a PV facility, as well as repurposing mining lands in Pennsylvania and West Virginia for PV systems.
Managed by DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations), the Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land will help provide the mining industry with ways to decarbonize their operations.

I’m not sure that Fox News caused the decline of our nation, but it certainly makes some level of sense.
When I was young, there was no source of “news” that was based solely on the profit to be made by making Americans stupid and mean. In fact, news in most of the 20th Century really didn’t have any real commercial value, because it wasn’t used to sell drugs and useless crap to elderly, addle-minded white people 24 hours a day.
Thirty years later, we have people who are as addicted to this hate news as alcoholics need another shot of booze.
The civilized world is thrilled to see the Catholic church take on the mantle of environmentalism, especially since the religious right still quotes from the Book of Genesis: Only God can destroy the Earth to justify climate denialism.
