Origis Energy and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association have put its 200 MW Escalante Solar project into commercial operation.
The project was built on the site of the former 253 MW, coal-fired Escalante Station near Grants, N.M., which was retired in 2020.
“Every time a project is completed and begins commercial operation, that is cause to celebrate,” says Guy Vanderhaegen, executive chairman of Origis Energy. “We are especially delighted to bring affordable, reliable renewable electricity to the members of Tri-State, which helps meet Tri-State’s decarbonization goals.”
The project is delivering power to Tri-State’s members, including 11 New Mexico electric cooperative members, under a PPA with Origis Energy.
Gridworks, headquartered in Albuquerque, provided construction services for the project. Array Technologies, also headquartered in Albuquerque, provided the solar tracking system.

A Few Idiots Believe the Left Really IS Radical
The vast majority of Americans have liberal views. We favor a woman’s right to choose abortion, high-quality public education, affordable healthcare, clear air and water, the use of science in policymaking, equal rights for minority ethnicities and religions, and efforts to trim the enormous gap between rich and poor.
It would be very interesting to know what percentage of U.S. voters believe that liberals hate America, that we believe our country “is fundamentally evil and the only remedy is destroying our nation with mass migration (sic).”
Trump’s approval rating is about 30%, and a few percent of that is the amoral super-rich. So, possibly it’s in the high 20s.
But aren’t there at least some MAGA folks who would concede that educated people don’t necessarily hate America? My mother lived on a steady diet of Fox News, but even she had respect for Bernie Sanders, about whom she said, “I admire his sincerity, misguided though it is.”

There Is a Third Option
Whoa. Let’s take a step back. Is it really either A or B?
You could on the side of the morons, those incapable of any level of critical thinking, like the author of the meme here.
