Zoo New England’s Stone Zoo has brought its solar array into operation, providing what the zoo says is 95% of its power needs.
The array was constructed in the zoo parking lot, giving the zoo an opportunity to demonstrate the use of this technology with its visitors.
“We are absolutely thrilled that the solar array project is now complete, and generating clean energy,” says John Linehan, president and CEO of Zoo New England.
“Conservation is the cornerstone of our mission, and this project is in perfect alignment with our work to preserve and protect wildlife and habitats, while creating a more sustainable future for us all. Nature has great healing capacity and, if given the chance, can be very effective in combating the negative impacts of climate change. This clean energy project and others like it can be part of the climate solution.”
This project was made possible with the help of State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representative Michael Day, who secured $3 million for the array project in 2021 from the Commonwealth.
SolarKal simplified the transition to solar energy. Solect Energy led the design and installation of the zoo’s solar canopy system.

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?
If you’re a competent woman working at the highest echelon in the U.S. government, better start packing your bags.
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.
How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?
