ENGIE North America has signed a PPA with Google to supply 90 MW from its Chillingham solar project in Bell County, Texas. 

This is the fifth renewable energy project under agreement between the two companies globally.

To support its Texas operations, Google will purchase a portion of the 350 MW facility’s output, which is expected to commence operation later this year. The Chillingham solar project was developed by ENGIE, who will also construct and operate the project located north of Austin, Texas.

This agreement was facilitated through LevelTen Energy’s Accelerated Process (LEAP), which was co-developed by Google and LevelTen Energy with the aim of sourcing and executing clean energy PPAs more efficiently.

“We are honored to continue to expand ENGIE’s global relationship with Google, supporting their growth and delivery of their net-zero commitments” says Dave Carroll, chief renewables officer, ENGIE North America.

“We are proud that ENGIE’s proven track record in developing, building and operating renewable assets puts us at the forefront of the energy transition. Chillingham solar clearly demonstrates ENGIE’s track record of consistently delivering quality renewables projects that meet the needs of customers such as Google; allowing us to collaborate together and meet their unique needs.”

Once operational, Chillingham will be ENGIE’s largest single solar project in the U.S. so far.

When You’re Addressing Idiots You Can Get Away with a Lot

At left we have John Fetterman talking to people so stupid they’ll believe that it would have been wrong for the British colonists to oppose King George III in the late 18th Century, or for the people of Germany and Italy in the 1930s to stand up against Hitler and Mussolini.  What about the people in today’s dictatorships, i.e., the people in Russia, China, North Korea, or any of the other 50+  authoritarian regimes around the world?

Morons tend to agree with the loudest, most aggressive voice of nationalism, regardless of how little sense it makes.

It’s a great moment of opportunity for Fetterman.

Carl Sagan and the Suppression of Uncomfortable Ideas

Seminal astrophysicist Carl Sagan explains why uncomfortable ideas may be banned in religion, they must not be shunned in science.

This is an important concept in American life today, as conspiracy theorists are convinced that climate change denial cannot be considered in scientific circles.

I happened to bring this up in my interview with Dr. V. Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution, who has been amassing data on global warming since the 1970s.  He laughed, and explained, “If I could prove that human activity was not causing temperatures to rise, I’d be be one of the wealthiest and most famous scientists in world history.”

We Came Incredible Close to Averting the Disaster that Is Donald Trump

As suggested at left, a great deal of the hardship that has befallen the U.S. was simply bad luck.  Al Gore came within a whisker of victory in 2000, a win that would have forever changed the course of our nation in terms of energy policy, education, healthcare, and international affairs.

If Bernie had become the 2016 nominee, we wouldn’t have had Hillary Clinton telling our country’s most mean-spirited and least-educated people that they were “deplorables,” ushering a criminal sociopath into the White House.
