Chaberton Energy and Pivot Energy are partnering on a Maryland solar project aimed at powering both commercial and community customers.

The 19-acre site, named Project Catherine, sits on St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church’s property in Cooksville, Md. and is expected to generate 4.3 MW. A portion of the project supplies energy directly to the church, with the rest serving Loyola University Maryland and the surrounding community via subscription model.

“Pivot Energy shares our passion for the energy transition and works tirelessly to help communities access local, affordable, clean energy,” says Mike Doniger, chief operating officer at Chaberton Energy.

“This project showcases our development team’s creativity as it combines three different solar business models in one project: a community solar project, a power purchase agreement with a nonprofit and the offsetting of on-site electricity usage. We are grateful to St. Mary Church, Howard County officials, Loyola and so many others who collaborated to make this a reality.”

The site was originally developed by Chaberton and recently acquired by Pivot.

Community solar subscribers will have access to 3.4 MW of capacity via the Maryland Community Solar program. Loyola will have access to 750 kw of direct current via the Maryland Aggregate Net Energy Metering program and the balance will be used to offset the church’s on-site load.

Pivot donated to the Power52 Foundation, a workforce development organization that helps at-risk individuals from the Baltimore area. Chaberton donated money to Bright Minds Foundation, a community group that supports Howard County public education, and the Community Ecology Institute, a Maryland nonprofit.

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology

Published

I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea.  But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.

Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom?  And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial

Published

on

In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child.  I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.

They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.

Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children.  If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.

If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math.  Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?

Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”

That seems just fine.
