DSD Renewables has completed a 6.5 MW solar portfolio for Caesars Entertainment at the gaming company’s Atlantic City destinations.

The installations are across two different Caesars Atlantic City properties on four canopies and will produce approximately 8.29 MWh of energy each year. A fifth canopy is currently under development and is slated to be complete in 2024, bringing the solar portfolio to 7.4 MW.

Caesars is one of the largest customers of local utility Atlantic City Electric, and these solar projects will offset approximately 6% of its energy needs for the resort properties in the area, taking energy load off the utility and making energy resources available for other customers.

The completed projects include 1.7 MW and 886 kW solar garage canopies at Caesars Atlantic City, and two installations at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City – a 1.9 MW solar canopy at Harrah’s self-park garage and a 1.9 MW canopy at Harrah’s valet garage. The effort also includes a 913 kW solar rooftop system at Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center that will be installed in early 2024.

The canopies will provide shaded parking for staff and customers and reduce snow removal costs, while the rooftop system will extend the roof’s lifespan and reduce cooling needs by limiting UV exposure. With the existing structural layout, building heights, and the location of the project sites being in such close proximity to the coast, this created an added layer of complexity. DSD’s in-house canopy team created custom engineering designs that were tailored to accommodate increased wind load and risk factors, with structural connections that allow steel and electrical systems to be elevated and protected from storms.

DSD financed and developed the installations and will serve as the long-term owner and operator.

I just came across the meme here, and I thought I’d react to it.

Let’s call these groups, from top to bottom, A, B, C, and D.

First, instead of joking around about C, let’s be clear: these are people who are dominated by hate, especially the tenets of white nationalism.

Then let’s add in group E, selfish pigs who are getting ever richer because of Trump’s corrupt policies.

Here’s my guess as to the percentage of each group, across the people eligible to vote in the United States:

A: 50

B: 5 (some of these people actually do exist)

C: 33 (Trump’s MAGA support base)

D: 10

E: 2

Now, a question that is often asked is: How is it possible that group E rules the country (and the world) with only 2% of the votes? Answer: They have almost all the money, and they couldn’t give a s*** about the wellbeing of others.

That this planet will slowly bake matters to most of us, but it doesn’t mean squat to a few.

This is Germany’s Alice Weidel, a politician from Germany’s right-wing extremist party, Alternative for Germany. She studied economics and finance in college.

Who could possibly care what she thinks about climate change?

A Thought from Maslow

Here’s “A thought for today,” from A-Word-A Day:

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be. – Abraham Maslow

Maslow is best known for his “hierarchical needs,” which I always thought was excellent. The statement here is a part of that theory; it’s what “self-actualization” means.

Incredibly powerful, IMO.
