Duke Energy is seeking proposals for acquiring diverse power generation in order to serve its Indiana customers.

“As we continue to transition to cleaner energy, we survey the markets for a diverse range of power generation resources,” says Stan Pinegar, Duke Energy Indiana president. “This gives us an opportunity to hear from developers about what may be available. Our aim is a responsible transition to cleaner power for customers who count on us to deliver energy that is affordable and available whenever needed.”

As part of its integrated new power generation resource plan, the company is looking for up to 2,500 MW of specifically renewable energy generation, including combinations with battery storage. It is also seeking up to 2,500 MW of non-intermittent generation, such as natural gas combustion turbines, combined cycle units and stand-alone battery storage.

Proposals may include existing generating resources or proposed resources with an in-service date no later than Dec. 31, 2032. Duke will use an independent third-party administrator, Charles River Associates, to facilitate the RFP process and ensure it is conducted in a fair and unbiased manner.

Proposals for intermittent generation are due by Feb. 9. Selected projects will be presented to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission for approval. Proposals for intermittent generation are due by Feb. 9 and the deadline for proposals for non-intermittent generation is Feb. 23.

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology

I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea.  But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.

Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom?  And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial

Published

on

In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child.  I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.

They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.

Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children.  If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.

If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math.  Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?

Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”

That seems just fine.
