GAF Energy has completed the construction of the company’s manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas.
Full operation is planned for the end of the year, when the facility will produce the Timberline Solar Energy Shingle, which is meant to integrate with traditional shingles. The new manufacturing facility is the company’s second and is set to increase its capacity by 500%, bringing total production of its solar shingle to 300 MW annually.
“We’re thrilled to be building the future of solar here in Georgetown. The community has welcomed us with open arms, confirming everything we thought when we made the decision to expand to Texas,” says Martin DeBono, GAF Energy’s president.
“We’ve begun hiring and already have dozens of people ready to make the best solar roofing on the market right here in Georgetown. We firmly believe that manufacturing in America speeds the innovation cycle and allows us to deliver the best product for our customers,” he adds.
The company began hiring earlier this year and has brought on more than 75 people in manufacturing, supply chain, logistics and other associated roles. At full capacity, GAF Energy plans to employ more than 240 people in Georgetown. The company’s first manufacturing facility, in San Jose, Calif., was completed in 2021.

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.
