Energy solutions provider Genie Energy has closed on a loan financing for a portfolio of operating solar generation assets.

The $7.4 million fixed rate term loan secured through National Cooperative Bank (NCB) provides project financing for a solar array portfolio rated for an aggregate 10 MW. The arrays, which Genie purchased through its Sunlight Energy subsidiary during the past year, provide power to educational facilities in three Midwestern states through direct fixed-price solar PPA.

“I am very pleased to complete the financing of this portfolio,” says Michael Stein, CEO of Genie Energy.

“These assets have generated revenue and profitability in line with expectations since we acquired them. The financing provided by NCB increases the arrays’ return on equity and more broadly, represents a key element of our solar generation strategy within our Genie Renewables division. We expect to continue to utilize project financing to optimize our capital structure, maximize equity returns, increase capacity for new product development and enhance profitability for projects we develop or acquire going forward.”

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
