FirstEnergy subsidiaries Mon Power and Potomac Edison have begun construction on their third utility-scale solar site, in West Virginia.

The 5.75 MW Marlowe solar project is located on a 36-acre property in Berkeley County that was previously an ash disposal site. In 2022, FirstEnergy completed the closure of the landfill, paving the way for its redevelopment. The project is expected to be completed next year.

Mon Power and Potomac Edison are developing five solar projects totalling 50 MW. The companies completed their first solar project at Fort Martin Power Station in Maidsville, with an 18.9 MW capacity in January and started construction in March at a second site in Rivesville, with a 5.5 MW capacity

Combined, the five projects are expected to create 87,000 solar renewable energy credits.

“The redevelopment of this site into a clean, renewable energy source is aligned with our commitment to support economic growth in West Virginia as well as our efforts to build a more sustainable future for the communities we serve,” says Dan Rossero, vice president of FirstEnergy’s West Virginia Generation.

Is School a Jail Sentence?

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
