FirstEnergy subsidiary Mon Power has completed its solar site at Fort Martin Power Station in Maidsville, W. Va., the first of five projects Mon Power and its sister company Potomac Edison have planned.
Nearly 50,000 panels generate up to 18.9 MW per hour on the approximately 80-acre site, says the company. Ultimately, the five sites are expected to collectively generate up to 50 MW.
“We’re proud to have achieved our goal of completing this solar site using local union workers,” says First Energy’s Jim Myers. “It is important to have this voluntary option available to customers, as renewable energy is a large economic driver in both attracting new industry to West Virginia and keeping existing companies that now require a portion of their electricity to come from renewable sources.”
In August, the West Virginia Public Service Commission approved the companies’ request to construct the Fort Martin solar site and two others in Rivesville, Marion County and Marlowe, Berkeley County. Construction of the sites is expected to be complete by the end of this year.

This Week’s Flywheel Scam
When 2GreenEnergy was launched in 2009, there was still some talk about flywheels as potentially scalable solutions for energy storage. But in the last 10 years, no one’s heard a peep about this subject from any credible source.
Of course, now we have charlatans coming out of the woodwork, calling on idiots to invest in clean energy “technologies” that are totally nonsensical, like these conmen.
In today’s world where honesty is a joke, you can count on criminal liars to emerge from the shadows to rip off a few (or many) idiots.

Lessons from the Ancient Greeks
It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.
Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.
Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.
We regard the underclass as animals; others regard everyone as a human being.

Ben Carson Comes Through Again
This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.
