JUWI has brought the largest PV project in its history online, a 223.6 MW solar park for Deriva, located south of Colorado Springs on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains.

The Pike Solar farm will supply energy to the regional Colorado Springs Utilities under a 17-year PPA.

The company has completed the development, engineering and construction of the project and will provide operations and maintenance services to Pike Solar. The plant will be owned by Deriva Energy, who together with JUWI will take over operational and maintenance responsibility.

“The safe and on-time completion of Pike Solar results from strong collaboration among project participants, including the teams from Deriva Energy, Colorado Springs Utilities, El Paso County, City of Fountain, and all our reliable and hardworking subcontractors,” says Michael Martin, CEO of JUWI Americas. “The JUWI team worked tirelessly to complete this project under complex logistical and weather-challenged events.”

Construction began in late autumn 2022. More than 400,000 solar modules were installed on a single-axis tracking substructure system.

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.
