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.

How Do We Regard the Obama Presidency?

Obama is ranked at or near the bottom by the MAGA base, but somehow he’s ranked an average of #7 by historians (who can read and write).

Strange, isn’t it?

Making Peace in Iran

The folks who posted this to social media write, “President Donald Trump’s recent comments on U.S.-Iran relations have prompted renewed discussion about American foreign policy.”

For “American foreign policy” I would substitute “Trump’s mental health.”  After all, we are at war with these people, aren’t we?

Of course, most of us will remember Orwell’s “1984” and its line “War Is Peace.”

Horrible People

Every time I see something like what we have at left, I have a renewed sense of wonder: how can certain human beings be such terrible people?

FWIW, I more-or-less understand the MAGA base of racist idiots.  I’m not happy that I live among them, but they don’t leave me scratching my head as to how they could have become who they are.

Randy Fine is no moron.  His BA and MBA are from Harvard. There is no way he honesty believes that U.S. elections are rigged, or that Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people.  He’s simply a professional liar, and a traitor to his country.

I’m at a loss.
