MCE has unveiled an all-electric clean energy home, meant to be sold to lower-income first-time home buyers in Richmond, Calif.

Led, in partnership, by the ZNE Alliance and MCE, this Richmond Advanced Energy Community project uses MCE’s VPP. In exchange, participating customers allow their smart energy devices to respond to MCE’s signals to shift load based on the grid’s needs.

“Our virtual power plant connects distributed energy resources like solar, battery storage, electric vehicles, electric water heaters and heat pumps into one system that can be shifted when needed,” says Vicken Kasarjian, MCE COO.

“When combined, these small resources can provide clean electricity to the grid during peak hours when the demand is high and take energy from the grid when there are surplus conditions in the grid due to high generation and low loads.”

The Richmond Advanced Energy Community is supported by a $5 million grant from the California Energy Commission and $2.8 million in match funding from partners that include the City of Richmond, CalEPA and MCE.

The Republican Brand

No one with any sense truly doubts the words at left.  Caring only about wealthy white men is the GOP brand, like the Nike “swoosh.”

Not only does the Republican party appeal to the uber-rich, but also to wide variety of racists, and people stupid enough to believe that Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and that the billionaires are job creators.

Trump the Savior

What Noam Chomsky says here is spot on, especially with respect to Trump.

What makes Trump so good at this is his facility to invent a new boogieman every couple of days.  Communism, Dr. Fauci, Venezuela’s drug boats, Iran, birthright citizenship, democrats, the damage done by previous presidents, the climate hoax, the Kennedy Center, the arch, the vandals at the Reflecting Pool, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, liberals in education, the Hollywood elite, unsafe vaccinations, trans people, a nuclearized Iran, massive voter fraud, Haitians eating our pets, Harvard, the ex-Fed Chairman, NATO, wind turbines, the far-left radicals, the election control people, the list goes on.

Then there are the near-daily outrages:

Turning Gaza into a luxury resort, annexing Greenland, curtailing environmental emission standards, usurping the Panama Canal, refusing to pay E. Jean Carroll, pardoning hundreds of violent convicted felons, accepting bribes for pardoning white collar fraudsters, insider trading, orchestrating deals that benefit his children, targeting Jack Smith, protecting ICE agents who commit murder/manslaughter, and leasing federal wilderness land for oil exploration

The more indefensible the better.

Is her point that there are countries that are even more repressive to women’s rights?

Does anyone disagree with that?
