El Paso Electric (EPE) has started construction on a 10 MW facility as part of the company’s second Texas Community Solar program expansion. 

Along with a reduced monthly charge for current subscribers, the expanded program will provide a discount to income-qualified state residential customers, says the company, adding that the new facility is expected to be operational by the end of this year.

EPE selected EDF Renewables to construct a total of 18,930 panels across the 70 acre solar facility in San Elizario, Texas.

“The success of our existing Texas Community Solar program shows us that our customers want access to renewable energy in an effortless way,” says EPE’s Jessica Christianson. “After the first expansion of the program in 2018, we began to develop the framework for greater capacity additions. We are excited to grow our community solar generation with this installation in San Elizario and reduce the cost of the program for all subscribers.”

The Texas Community Solar Program has been fully subscribed since 2017 and a reserve list is available for residential and commercial customers in the service territory who do not have rooftop panels.

Lying to Morons about Crime Rates

Basing a claim on a single incident, e.g., the murder of Charlie Kirk, has no real validity.

So, here’s was AI says on the matter:

Violent crime, particularly homicide and gun violence, is significantly higher in the United States compared to Europe.

The U.S. homicide rate fluctuates between 5.5 and 6.5 per 100,000 residents, whereas most Western European countries see rates well below 2.0 per 100,000.  A resident of the U.S. is generally 5 – 6 times more likely to be a victim of a homicide than someone living in Western Europe.

Life in America Is Ruthless

The meme here speaks volumes to life in the United States and free market capitalism as a whole.

I happened to have met the guy who, in the 1990s, tried to build railways that would connect Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. One day he got a phone call from Herb Kelleher, co-founder and former CEO of Southwest Airlines, who told him, “The fare between any of the major cities in Texas is $80.  The day you drive your first spike in the ground, I’m lowering it to $8.”

American businesspeople are no more interested in the wellbeing of our people than they have in being diagnosed with cancer.

If you’re wondering why there is so much pushback against renewable energy and other elements of climate change mitigation, you really don’t to look much further.

Evaluating California and its Governor

Published

Hmm.  He’s the governor of the most populous state in the country, whose revenues, if it were a country, would make it the fourth largest economy on Earth. His state ranks in the top five in terms of colleges and universities.  We’re wealthy, well-educated, and extremely productive.

It’s true that he’s not a Trump supporter, but California (and the rest of the world) generally regards the current U.S. president as a criminal sociopath.

Yes, that infuriates folks who are poor, ignorant, racist, and disease-ridden, but generally speaking, it doesn’t bother Californians.
