DSD Renewables has received a $250 million strategic investment from Cox Enterprises to support DSD’s continuing mission of accelerating renewable energy deployment.

“This significant investment from Cox marks a pivotal milestone for DSD, enabling our continued evolution to becoming an influential market leader,” says DSD CEO Erik Schiemann. “Our growth, initially fueled by BlackRock’s faith in us, now enters a new chapter with Cox that will advance our position as a cleantech leader and scale our business.”

“The management team at DSD has built an impressive business with a bright future,” adds Will Thorburn of Cox Cleantech. “The way they are benefiting both business and the planet shows their ability to think innovatively and operate with purpose. We are looking forward to working with DSD to have an even larger impact in the years to come.”

The investment is Cox’s largest in the renewable energy sector to date. In addition, BlackRock’s Climate Infrastructure business is currently and will remain the majority stakeholder in DSD, alongside Cox.

Since 2019, DSD has raised over $2 billion in project capital, developing and deploying over 600 MW of solar and storage projects across the nation.

“BlackRock believes strongly in DSD and the fundamental value proposition around making solar more accessible to organizations. Since we first invested in 2019, the growth of the opportunity has dramatically increased, and we are pleased to see global companies of Cox’s caliber investing in the space,” says David Giordano, global head of BlackRock Climate Infrastructure.

For most of our lives, many of us boomers have believed that the biggest threat to the United States was our president, starting with Tricky Dick Nixon, the inventor of the “trickle-down economics,” liar Ronald Reagan, and GW (the moron) Bush.

But yes, none of us was prepared for the cold, calculating criminal who is Donald Trump.

Yes, Human Activity, in its Current State, Is Unsustainable

Published

on

The fact that human activity is unsustainable has been revealed to us gradually over the last century.  Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” was published 63 years ago.

That said, the ideas of climate change, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity have been essentially unchallenged by scientists for just the last couple of decades.

The only thing standing in the way of rapid environmental progress is greed, and in the end, that may prove to be an unbeatable foe.  Decarbonizing our grid and transportation sector will eventually destroy the fossil fuel industry, a group so powerful that it has a stranglehold, both on our lawmakers and on our corporate-owned media, that works so hard to misinform our citizenry.

Will the U.S. Top Military Intervene Before Trump Inflicts Irreparable Damage

Published

It’s still possible that our most senior military leaders will insert themselves in time to prevent some truly catastrophic event here in the United States/abroad.

I keep thinking I’ll read about an exchange like this:

Trump: We’re invading Greenland.

Some four-star general: The f*** we are.

This may sound like a pipe dream, but these are people of real honor and integrity who take their oaths to our constitution quite seriously.
