Fresno Unified School District and ForeFront Power have completed a 17.5 MW solar energy and storage portfolio, expected to save the district over $40 million throughout the approximate 20-year lifespan of the system.

The districtwide portfolio includes 40 projects with solar canopies and energy storage systems across 31 sites and is slated to generate 23.5 million kWh. 

“ForeFront Power takes care of every aspect of solar energy solutions for our partner school districts like Fresno Unified,” says Nate Smith-Ide, senior sales manager at ForeFront Power. “We want to give public school districts an alternative to expensive, unpredictable energy expenditures with guaranteed performance and low costs from renewable energy solutions.”

Fresno Unified selected ForeFront Power via the Renewable Energy Aggregated Procurement Program offered by SPURR, a joint powers authority made up of public education agencies using competitive solicitations, aggregated buying power and technical expertise to negotiate pricing and terms for utilities-related goods and services.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui & Co, ForeFront Power operates under Mitsui’s North American investment arm.

America in Collapse

I got the meme here from a neighbor, but I wonder who actually wrote it.  There is a ton of propaganda on social media suggesting that we need to normalize the sociopathic criminality of the U.S. president.

It’s true that not every election is an apocalypse, but 2024 was disastrous for the U.S. democracy.

Yes, the country did not end.  But it took a giant leap towards authoritarianism.

Even that’s not the end of the world.  Democracies fail with great frequency on this planet.  I just never thought I’d be living in the biggest socio-political collapse in the last 2000 years.

In an average week, I meet quite a few travelers here from lands all around this planet.  Their most common thoughts on what’s happening here: “We simply feel sorry for you.”

In a recent post, I argued that our brains are wired in a certain way, and that we have little in any control over our values and beliefs.

German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte seem to be saying something similar here.  To take me as an example, I’m no more capable of being a Trump supporter than I am in believing in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.
