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.

Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.

Yes, Lucy.  I think most of us already knew that.

It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.

They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?

Are We that Dumb?

Yes, part of this is stupidity.  But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.

I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand.  She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end.  I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.
