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.

Isn’t it astonishing we have people eligible to vote do not even register?
There was a time in U.S. history when the two parties were fairly close to one another politically, and so perhaps in those days, voter apathy could have been excused.
But now we have one entire party idolizing a criminal sociopath, while spreading torrents of disinformation.

His blend of wit and intelligence is a reminder of who and what this country was–up until quite recently.
Try to imagine how Donald Trump would have been regarded in era of this type of quality education and sophistication. Think of how the American people would respond to the idea that liberals are leading our country into communism.
Sometimes my eyes well up with tears when I think about our nation’s devolution into hatred and ignorance.
At left is one of the dozens of reasons that we need to get rid of Trump immediately.
