rPlus Energies has finalized a long-term PPA with Idaho Power and Meta for the 125 MW Pleasant Valley Solar 2 facility in Ada County, Idaho. 

The first phase of this project, the 200 MW Pleasant Valley Solar 1, was also developed by the company and is under construction. It is now majority-owned by Matrix Renewables and set to reach commercial operation next year.

Both projects will deliver solar energy to Idaho Power’s grid and support Meta’s data center in Kuna, Idaho.

This project is being developed through Idaho Power’s Clean Energy Your Way – Construction Program, which provides options for businesses looking to meet corporate sustainability or carbon emission goals.

“We’re excited to be partnering again with Idaho Power and Meta on Pleasant Valley Solar 2,” says Luigi Resta, president and CEO of rPlus Energies.

“Strong partnerships make all stages of development and construction smoother, and we certainly have that with these two. We look forward to breaking ground in the coming months and contributing another significant project to Idaho’s renewable energy landscape.”

Construction of Pleasant Valley Solar 2 is slated to begin later this year.

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
