Dominion Energy Virginia’s largest battery storage facility to date is currently operational.

The Dry Bridge Battery Energy Storage System, located in Chesterfield County, can store up to 20 MW of electricity and is enough to power 5,000 homes for up to four hours, says the company. 

“Battery storage is an important part of our mission of delivering reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy to our customers,” says Ed Baine, president of Dominion Energy Virginia. “As our battery storage fleet grows, it means we can continue adding more clean energy to the grid while delivering the reliability our customers expect.”

Completion of the Dry Bridge facility comes on the heels of other recent battery storage developments for Dominion. In August, the company broke ground on a 50 MW battery storage project at Dulles International Airport. As well, the company announced its battery storage pilot projects at Darbytown Power Station and Virginia State University in September, both aimed at discovering longer-duration alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

I would be shocked to learn that more than a tiny fraction of 1% of Americans voters consider themselves Marxists. The Republicans are hoping that propaganda like this will be effective, but that’s hard to imagine.

The typical progressive in the U.S. hopes to see this country refashion itself in the manner of the social democracies that are sprinkled all around the globe.

Woke Celebrity Far Out Number Trump Supporters

Glenn Close is what Donald Trump would call a “woke celebrity.” Yet what he’s deliberately ignoring is that he has virtually zero support from the entertainment industry.

Sure, you can find an occasional Clint Eastwood or James Woods.  But for every one of them, you’ll find perhaps a dozen intelligent and kind people like Close who deeply resents Trump’s attempts to steal democracy from the American people and the rest of the civilized world.

I’m no expert on political demographics, but is strikes me that someone like, say Jodie Foster, who could read at age three and graduated from Yale magna cum laude, probably sees life differently from the MAGA base of carrot farmers, truck drivers, and appliance repairmen.

Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?

Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.

How much French do I know?  Close to zero.  I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’  Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.

This strikes me as pure MAGA racism.  It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
