National Grid Renewables has begun major construction on two southern Minnesota solar projects, both within the Midcontinent Independent System Operator market.
“As a company that was founded and still headquartered in Minnesota, it’s both exciting and rewarding to see this growth in renewable energy happening right in our own backyard,” says National Grid Renewables’ Joe Ibrahim. “These projects will not only provide additional tax revenue and jobs to the local residents, but also extend our commitment to being good neighbors with local and statewide residents.”
Both the 45 MW Fillmore County Solar project and 50 MW Louise Solar project have executed PPAs with Xcel Energy.
The projects will be constructed by Berry Construction and will utilize Series 6 Plus bifacial solar modules developed and produced by First Solar.

I met a fellow earlier today who, with a partner, owns and runs a company that imports a wide variety of goods into the United States from China.
I asked him, naively, how tariffs are affecting him. He said, “Well, until recently, taxes on our goods were 3.5%; now they’re 45%. I pass most of this this on to my (retailer) customer, and he passes it on to you. If you’re wondering why the price of a stick of deodorant has just gone through the roof, you’ve just figured it out.”
In retrospect, I shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place.
I met a gentleman from South Africa yesterday, and I told him that I’m sure he knows that Trevor Noah is a huge thing here in the U.S.
He replied that he doesn’t like Trevor Noah and explained that he doesn’t think politics and comedy should be mixed.
I thought that to be peculiar, as political humor has been a big deal here for centuries, and has grown mightily since the 1970s. Think of Saturday Night Live and all the late-night television hosts that have come along and achieved huge popularity.
More to the point, this is Trevor Noah’s brand. It’s what he does–and sells for a living. It’s like Nike and its swoosh and it’s “Just do it” slogan.
I have a feeling that what he objects to is the mixing of left-wing politics and comedy, because he doesn’t like to see progressive ideas promoted in society.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.
