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.

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.
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.
Here’s the latest on Trump’s efforts to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while waging an aggressive war in Iran, executing people he suspects of carrying drug off the coast of Venezuela, pledging to take over Cuba, and annexing Greenland from a (former) ally.
