Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) is seeking approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to build a 20 MW solar array and 40 MW BESS in Fitchburg, Wis. 

Dubbed the Sunnyside Solar Energy Center, the project will provide locally generated solar energy to MGE’s distribution system.

“MGE continues on our path toward deep decarbonization to achieve net-zero carbon electricity,” says Jeff Keebler, MGE chairman, president and CEO.

“Carbon is our target, and our carbon reduction goals are aligned with science. Under our commitments, by 2030, MGE expects to deliver electricity with 80% fewer carbon emissions to every MGE electric customer. Similarly, by 2050, we expect to deliver net-zero carbon electricity to every MGE electric customer. We’re decarbonizing our grid cost-effectively for the benefit of all customers.”

EDF Renewables is the project’s developer. If approved, project construction could begin next year.

Incompetence? Not Really

Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.

Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices?  Destroying the educational system and the environment?

Not for a millisecond.

When Truth No Longer Matters

Published

on

One of the casualties of the post-truth era is that the statements of our “leaders” no longer are required to have any basis in fact.  What Jim Jordan says here is a fine example.

When he says “better” here, is he referring to runaway inflation?  Trump’s purposeless and illegal war with no end in sight?  His blatant corruption and criminality? His having, quite successfully, divided the American people into groups that hate each other?  The enrichment of billionaires at the expense of the working class?  The carefully engineered collapse of the environment so as to favor his donors in fossil fuels?  The demise of the U.S. educational system?

Please be clear.
