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.

China Barred Vestas Software, Ørsted Buys Chinese Monopiles
Vestas CEO Henrik Andersen says China barred Vestas from monitoring its own turbines. Plus Ørsted takes heat for Chinese monopiles, India’s blade design gap, and tents that beat weather delays.

America’s Top Military Are Disgusted by Trump
Virtually all top-ranking retired military brass view Trump as shown at left. On top of that, Hegseth has publicly fired all current generals and admirals who are not loyal to Trump, as the entire world watched the purge.
Doesn’t this affect the way the psychopath’s command of our nation is ultimately determined?

Getting Rid of Trump
Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.
It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months. But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it. Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.
We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.
