Hunt Military Communities (HMC) has advanced its Phase II Solar and Battery Project at Hanscom Air Force Base.

The 2.2 MW PV system will enable the community that includes 2,500 military residents to draw 30% of its total electricity supply from renewable energy.

The project involves the installation of solar systems on the rooftops of homes and garages within the housing community, along with a centralized Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The investment was supported by state incentives from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources.

“At Hunt Military Communities, we are dedicated to providing innovative solutions that enhance the quality of life for our residents and provide greater value for our military partners,” says Brian Stann, president and CEO of Hunt Military Communities.

“The Hanscom Solar Project is a testament to our commitment to sustainable practices and long-term energy cost stability for our communities which will provide increased funds for long-term sustainment projects.”

City Light & Power, an affiliate of HMC’s parent company, Hunt Companies, has been selected as the EPC contractor for the project.

The project is slated to be completed next year.

It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.

Yet, it was very recently that the entire nation became a force for the destruction of civil society.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
