D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI) has signed two long-term renewable energy offtake agreements with Meta.

The projects include a 250 MW AC solar facility in Missouri and a 150 MW AC solar facility in Texas. Both facilities are sited in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) territory and are expected to reach commercial operation before the end of 2027.

This portfolio contributes to DESRI’s growing solar portfolio with Meta, which also includes projects in Utah, Virginia and Arkansas.

“Our renewable energy partnership with Meta has expanded to span five states, encompassing more than 1,200 MW AC,” says Hy Martin, chief development officer of DESRI. “These projects will support local rural economies and are part of DESRI’s long-term strategy of developing, owning and operating clean energy generation sources in close proximity to new load growth, particularly with our corporate data center customers in MISO and beyond.”

DESRI purchased development rights to a 150 MW AC project from Acadian Renewable Energy LLC, a joint venture between SunChase Power LLC and Eolian L.P., in 2022, and DESRI completed development of the project over the past three years.

We’re Running Out of Time

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.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
