National Grid Renewables has started construction on its Unbridled solar project, located in Henderson and Webster Counties, Ky.

At 160 MW, Unbridled is anticipated to be the largest producer of solar energy in the state once it reaches operations next year, says the company.

“We’re both proud and excited to be constructing the largest solar renewable energy project in the state of Kentucky,” says Blake Nixon, president of National Grid Renewables. “Unbridled is our first project within the state and exemplifies our commitment to the clean energy transition and the benefits it provides to rural economies in the form of new tax revenue and jobs throughout America.”

The project has a previously announced PPA with Big Rivers Electric and is partnering with Wanzek to complete the build.

“The Unbridled solar project will be a new and valuable addition to the diverse power portfolio needed to provide safe, reliable and sustainable energy to our member-owners,” adds Bob Berry, president and CEO of Big Rivers Electric. “This large-scale project also prioritizes our region with solar development that directly benefits the local economy and generates power for the people we serve.”

Unbridled Solar has also pledged to contribute $800,000 through a dedicated project charitable fund over the first 20 years of operations.

Have you ever wondered why every dictator in human history follows the exact same playbook? Check this out.

Plato nailed this 2400 years ago, and it’s been on “rinse/repeat” ever since.

Making Billions by Harming Others

On average, I meet perhaps 50 K-12 teachers each year, and I often ask them: What is the biggest challenge you face that impacts your ability to connect with and educate your students?

Here’s a rough tabulation:

Screen time, how it robs kids of their ability to pay attention, impedes social interaction, and makes parenting more difficult: 80%

Everything else combined: 20%

Maybe this is a cynical viewpoint, but it seems like that world of today revolves around the mega-corporations profiting by punishing their customers.

In this case, we have the tech giants ruining the lives of our children. Elsewhere, we have healthcare industry driving people into bankruptcy, Big Oil ruining our planet, the gun lobby murdering our kids, and, of course, an ultra-corrupt government looting our treasury to pay off billionaire donors.

Note that this wasn’t the case when we boomers were growing up 60 years ago. This is a distinctive shift from the 1960s when corporate America was focused on things like color TVs and the Ford Mustang.
