National Renewable Solutions (NRS) has closed on $145 million in project financing for its Shallow Basket Project, a 140 MW solar and 50 MW storage project located in Rio Arriba County, N.M. 

The project is under construction and is expected to be operational next year. NRS developed the project and will continue to own and operate it.

Deutsche Bank provided the construction financing. Guzman Energy is set to purchase 100% of the power and associated renewable attributes.

Jicarilla Apache Nation is leasing its land for Shallow Basket and will also benefit from power produced by the project through its wholesale supply agreement with Guzman Energy.

“The financing of Shallow Basket Project represents an exciting turning point for NRS,” says Bill Whitlock, CEO of NRS.

“The culmination of years of planning, this solar and storage project supports our strategy of retaining our projects through operation. Thank you to Deutsche Bank for their support. We are grateful for the opportunity to grow our relationship with the Jicarilla Apache Nation as we complete construction and operate the project for the long haul.”

Albuquerque-based Gridworks is the engineering, procurement and construction provider.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism.  (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth?  One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
