KKR has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Avantus, with it and existing investor EIG being sole equity investors. 

Founded in 2009, Avantus owns a project pipeline of 30 GW of solar and 94 GWh of battery storage, primarily in the southwestern U.S. and California. 

“To support an economy-wide energy transition, there is a need to significantly expand renewable energy generation by 2050 and enable grid electrification,” says KKR’s Charlie Gailliot. 

“Because of these tailwinds, we see enormous opportunity for Avantus. The company’s impressive team and development track record, coupled with its mature project pipeline, set it apart from other renewables developers. We are delighted to support Avantus in realizing its full potential.”

Following the closing of the transaction, KKR will support Avantus in creating an equity ownership program for its employees.

Jefferies acted as sole financial advisor to KKR. KKR Capital Markets and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking acted as the lead structuring agents and arrangers of a development financing facility for the company. Scotiabank served as financial advisor to Avantus.

Why History Professors Are Liberals

Published

The point made here is hotly contested.

Fox News will tell you that college professors were indoctrinated into progressivism when they were in college, and they’re simply passing all this down the line. This is why, they’ll go on to explain, that college is an evil force in our society, as it cranks out liberals.

FWIW, I agree with the commenter at the bottom.  One finds a few intelligent and well-educated people in the MAGA crowd, very few. And the most obvious reason for this is that bright people can see through the layers upon layers of lies and criminality that emanate from Trump every hour of the day.

Occam’s Razor explains this very nicely to me.

Two things:

1) As far as I’m aware, these “Solar Flowers” exist nowhere on Earth.  They’re certainly not in Los Angeles.

2) Engineers (and anyone with IQ of a turnip) are not split as their value; they have none.
