Enel North America and Bayer have announced the completion of a 2.7 MW solar and 1 MW energy storage system at Bayer’s vegetable research and development site in Woodland, Calif. 

The solar system is expected to generate approximately 5,100 MWh of renewable energy each year, enough to cover approximately 70% of the Woodland site’s energy needs. 

“The growing prevalence of extreme weather and wildfires has underscored the need for more resilient energy solutions,” says Enel’s Matt Barnes. “This project will not only increase Bayer’s energy resilience, but it will also help reduce demand on often-stressed local energy infrastructure, benefiting all energy users in the region. We’re thrilled to work with a forward-thinking, innovative partner on this project and look forward to helping Bayer achieve its sustainability targets.”

Enel is the owner and operator of the solar and battery storage assets and has signed a 20-year PPA with Bayer, which will offtake the energy generated by the solar system.

In addition to the solar-plus-storage installation, Bayer has also signed an agreement with Enel’s e-mobility business to install eight electric vehicle chargers on-site this year.

Gallup Disappears into Ignominy

Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.

Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.

Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi.  How sickened would you be?

Trump Digs Coal

From “The Other 98”

Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.

Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.

Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?

Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.

Baby boomers remember shows like Bugs Bunny and Rocky and Bullwinkle, and lament that quality television for young no longer exists.

Appreciation for shows like these require a basic level of understanding of music, art, and above all, history.
