The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has approved a site permit for Sherco Solar 3 project, Xcel Energy’s 250 MW solar facility in Clear Lake, Minn. 

Upon completion, the projects are expected to have a 710 MW capacity.

The solar generation is set to replace much of the electricity produced by the coal-fired Sherco Generating Plant Unit 2 that ceased operations last year.

“Sherco Solar will help deliver more reliable, affordable and cleaner electricity,” says Katie Sieben, Minnesota Public Utilities Commission chair.  “It’s a win for workers, consumers and the environment.”

Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in the fall and completed in 2026.

In addition to the solar facilities, the commission also previously approved a 10 MW battery pilot project at the site featuring an iron-air battery with 100-hour storage capacity.

Why History Professors Are Liberals

Published

The point made here is hotly contested.

Fox News will tell you that college professors were indoctrinated into progressivism when they were in college, and they’re simply passing all this down the line. This is why, they’ll go on to explain, that college is an evil force in our society, as it cranks out liberals.

FWIW, I agree with the commenter at the bottom.  One finds a few intelligent and well-educated people in the MAGA crowd, very few. And the most obvious reason for this is that bright people can see through the layers upon layers of lies and criminality that emanate from Trump every hour of the day.

Occam’s Razor explains this very nicely to me.

Two things:

1) As far as I’m aware, these “Solar Flowers” exist nowhere on Earth.  They’re certainly not in Los Angeles.

2) Engineers (and anyone with IQ of a turnip) are not split as their value; they have none.
