Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) and We Energies have completed construction on Badger Hollow Solar Farm with the site’s final panels in service, making the Wisconsin project fully operational. 

The project, a 300 MW facility located near the communities of Montfort and Cobb in Iowa County, Wis., came online in two 150 MW phases. The second phase began powering customers across the state last month, with the facility’s first phase coming online in 2021.

The project features 830,000 solar panels that track the sun as well as capture energy on both sides. The latter feature is useful in winter when sun reflects off the snow, says the company, in the operations of what it dubs the state’s largest solar farm.

“Wisconsin utilities have a long history of working together, and I appreciate the partnership with We Energies to make this project a great success,” says MGE’s Jeff Keebler. “The completion of Badger Hollow is another step in our ongoing transition to greater use of cost-effective, carbon-free renewable energy to serve all MGE electric customers. By 2030, we expect every MGE electric customer will have 80% fewer carbon emissions from their electricity use simply by being an MGE customer as we work toward our goal of net-zero carbon electricity.”

When it Comes to Atrocities, Timing Is Everything

To his credit, Trump is astute when it comes to the timing of his atrocities.  Had he abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin’s Russia too early, the American people would have been outraged.

Now, after Iran, detention centers, gas prices, farm failures, killing clean energy, years of support for white nationalism, gutting U.S. education, and so forth, Trump’s backing Russia seems perfectly normal.

California’s Gubernatorial Race

Bercerra comes with some baggage, but at least he’s not endorsed by Trump.

The bulk of California’s population lives on or near the Pacific Coast, and consists of affluent and well-educated people who want to see Trump removed, convicted, and incarcerated.  Yes, the inland folks are largely farmers, but their numbers are far too small to elect a Republican in the GOP of today, with this corruption, ignorance, racism, and cruelty.

Charlie Kirk, Speaking to Idiots

I suppose there are people who believe that the radical left is on a path to make Christianity illegal, and perhaps to install Islam as the official religion of the United States. This is remarkable for two reasons:

a) Every schoolchild in America learns about the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion at a very young age, and

b) This country made it successfully though 250 years with no one being ignorant enough to bring up this ridiculous concern.
