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.

Philosophy on the Decline

At left is a good example of what I mean by: “The last 150 years hasn’t been good for philosophers.”

In the late 19th Century, a question like this was the purview of philosophy.  Now it’s the domain for neuroscientists.

Similarly, the question: “what are the ultimate building blocks of the universe” was fodder for everyone from the ancient Greek philosophers up to the far more recent metaphysicians. Now we ask particle physicists.

Joke on MAGA Attire

Published

This is funny, but in actuality, sane people don’t physically attack the MAGA crowd; in fact, we don’t even make snide comments.

We keep our thoughts to ourselves.  We may feel sorry for these people’s moral depravity and/or stupidity.  We may be angry that the country that was once the envy of the world is now viewed with ridicule and disdain in its path to become irrelevant in global affairs.

But messing with hateful morons in red hats isn’t helping anyone.
