Navisun and North Carolina-based developer Queen City Solar have structured a co-development partnership that is advancing 30 MW of community solar in Maryland. 

Queen City Solar is expected to acquire sites, advance development and move projects through permitting. Navisun is slated to take ownership and fund the projects from an early stage, with the partners sharing both risk and upside in the work.

Four of the initial projects will be located in western Maryland on dormant agricultural lots, odd lot parcels and former mining sites. The other five will be located in central and eastern Maryland and will be built on underutilized farmland or family plots. Landowners will receive yearly lease income in exchange for hosting the solar arrays.

“Co-development is a core strategy for us, and we’re committed to developing, co-developing and building community solar projects that serve energy communities and those who haven’t traditionally been able to benefit from solar,” says Matt Preskenis, Navisun’s senior vice president of Business Development.

“These projects will be developed into Maryland’s community solar program in a way that directly benefits income-qualified customers statewide, with more to come.”

The first half of the projects aim to finish development and break ground next year.

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.
