Renewable energy developer Green Lantern Solar has closed on the sale of two fully permitted community solar projects to Madison Energy Infrastructure. Both projects, each with a capacity of 975 kilowatts AC, are under construction in Maine and expected to be completed in 2024.

The Mechanic Falls solar project is 1504.2 kW DC located on 7.748 acres in Mechanic Falls, Maine, and is expected to produce 1,845,653 kilowatt hours annually. The Roosevelt Trail solar project in Windham, Maine, features a system size of 1684.8 kW DC located on 11.24 acres. This project is anticipated to generate 1,930,780 kWh annually.

“We are thrilled to close on the sales of these two fully developed and permitted solar projects to our partner Madison Energy Infrastructure, which we hope are the first of many,” says Scott Buckley, president of Green Lantern Solar. “Our goal is to meticulously prepare the best solar projects in optimum locations to ensure that communities and businesses across our footprint can benefit from the clean energy economy. By leveraging local outreach, our deep real estate, engineering and construction expertise and significant transactional efficiencies cultivated over our 15 years in business, Green Lantern Solar’s projects meet the highest standard for acquisition by long-term owner-operators.”

These acquisitions underscore Green Lantern Solar’s commitment to accelerating the adoption of renewable energy solutions and advancing sustainability efforts in Maine and beyond.

“I’ve long admired Green Lantern Solar’s approach to project development,” says Richard Walsh, CEO of Madison Energy Infrastructure. “Their meticulous site selection and focus on community engagement mirror our own values, and this partnership on these Maine projects is a perfect example. We’re proud to collaborate together to deliver on the promise of clean energy.”

According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, if the election were held today, Mike Lindell would lose to Amy Klobuchar by a margin of 53% to 31%.

Now, exactly what does that translate to in terms of a probability of Lindell’s winning? I’m unaware of a scientific method of making that calculation, but it can’t be more than 1 or 2 percent. Perhaps the same as a three-legged horse winning the Kentucky Derby this coming May.

Minnesota is one of the least favorable states in the union for a moron Trump supporting liar, who lost a $2.3 million defamation suit when he claimed that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the 2020 election in favor of Biden.

Sure, California or Massachusetts would be worse, but most Minnesotans are well educated and affluent people with solid moral values.

It’s nice see that the company at left says that its “goal” is waste tire to fuels, rather than that it actually doing so, which would be a lie, albeit one that is commonly told.

About 15 years ago, there were many dozens of organizations working on this, but none of them succeeded, because the a) the technology wasn’t mature, and b) the whole enterprise wasn’t cost effective.

I would say it happened when Donald Trump entered the political scene in 2015 and wasn’t immediately laughed off the stage.

I remember calling my mother in disbelief and asking her if there wasn’t an unwritten rule that a successful presidential candidate has to be a decent and honorable human being. Sure, we elected Nixon (twice), but we didn’t know he was a criminal at the time.
