Greenbacker Capital Management‘s 240 MW utility-scale Appaloosa Solar 1 project has entered commercial operation in Iron County, Utah. 

With more than twice the power generation capacity of its sister project, Greenbacker’s Graphite Solar in Carbon County, Utah, Appaloosa is now the company’s largest operational clean energy asset to date.

“Bringing Appaloosa online is a milestone both for GCM as a business and for the energy transition as a whole, representing a new way to build the future of sustainable power,” says Ben Tillar, principal at Greenbacker. “It was accomplished through the dedication of our ongoing project partners and the support of the Iron County community, to whom we are grateful for hosting this project.”

Partnerships involved with Appaloosa began on the Graphite Solar project, which was developed, built and commissioned by Appaloosa minority owner, rPlus, with Sundt Construction delivering the engineering, procurement and construction. Like Graphite, Appaloosa has a long-term PPA in place with PacifiCorp that supports Meta’s regional operations under Rocky Mountain Power’s Schedule 34 green energy tariff.

Appaloosa began delivering energy late last month.

Consider the meme here, and then remember that the nine of the ten poorest states in the U.S. (Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virgina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina) are all bright red.

How do they get away with stupidity like this?

Well, there’s the bottom of the state rankings for education:

  • 46. Mississippi
  • 47. Kentucky
  • 48. Louisiana
  • 49. Arkansas
  • 50. West Virginia

Do you see any correlation?

Good question here at left.

To me, it depends.

If the person seems intelligent enough to be able to hold a thought in his head that opposes his current beliefs, I’d actively encourage the discussion.  Otherwise, I’m out.  No need to raising someone’s temper for no reason or gain.

Emigrating to a Social Democracy

To the jackass who sent me the meme here: What about the 5 million Americans who moved to Canada? What about the steady flow of Americans expatriating to Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland and Northern Europe?

My wife and I have two kids and a grandchild in the States, and we have a gaggle of medicos to address the various health conditions associated with aging.  If that weren’t the case, I’d be writing this from Stockholm or Aukland.

I wouldn’t be looking for a “utopia,” just an escape from the frustration, anger, and sadness that I feel every day, as I watch the country I love deteriorate into authoritarianism.
