Ameresco and the City of Somersworth, N.H. have broken ground on a PV installation at the Somersworth Landfill. 

The 2,577 kW project is expected to generate 3,523,443 kWh in its first year. 

Energy produced by the project is set to be sold to the city under the state’s group net metering program. The project will pay the city a lease and a payment in lieu of taxes.

We’re proud to partner with the City of Somersworth on this innovative landfill solar project,” says Jon Mancini, senior vice president of Ameresco.

“This initiative demonstrates the potential of repurposing land for renewable energy and enhancing landfills to become more sustainable. We’re excited to begin construction and contribute to the city’s bright clean energy future.”

The project has received the necessary permits and approvals from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, with construction expected to begin later this month.

• 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.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

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.
