National Grid Renewables has initiated operations at Amazon Solar Farm Ohio – Yellowbud, a 274 MW project located in Ross and Pickaway counties, Ohio.

Located in the PJM market, Yellowbud has an executed power purchase agreement with Amazon for the solar farm.

During operations, Yellowbud is estimated to generate $90 million in tax revenue, jobs, landowner income and charitable initiatives. Additionally, the project supports local organizations and businesses, such as its work with local landscape company Optimal Outdoor Solutions, which recently secured a contract for mowing on the project site, and the employment of a longtime area resident as the onsite plant manager.

“Yellowbud represents a longstanding commitment to bring renewable energy and economic benefit to Ohio residents,” says Blake Nixon, president of National Grid Renewables. “It’s both rewarding and exciting to see the project reach this pivotal point. We are proud to work with customers like Amazon, who share our community-focused values and not only help to bring clean, solar resources onto the electric grid, but also support our efforts to maximize a project’s local economic and social benefits.”

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.
