New York is setting aside $3.5 million in technical assistance funding to support electric grid modernization development project proposals through the state’s Grid Modernization Program

Funding is expected to support interested municipal electric utilities (MUNIs) and rural electric cooperatives (COOPs) in developing these proposals and plan for an upcoming $24 million funding opportunity made possible through an U.S. Department of Energy award to the state last fall.

The funding opportunity will be administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) over a two-year period through a competitive solicitation process.

“With the support of the Biden Administration, we are advancing a more resilient, modernized and connected electric grid,” says New York governor Kathy Hochul. “This funding will help the State identify the best approaches for grid modernization projects that ensure New Yorkers always have access to affordable and reliable power.”

MUNIs and rural COOPs may apply on a first come, first served basis until December 2027 for a one-time maximum technical assistance award of up to $200,000 per applicant. This assistance can be used to support technical analyses needed to evaluate potential projects, grant writing assistance for implementation funding and development of a metrics reporting system to evaluate project success.

MUNIs and rural COOPs that do not have technical assistance needs may propose smaller implementation projects that fall within the allowable maximum award amount.

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology

I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea.  But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.

Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom?  And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial

Published

on

In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child.  I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.

They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.

Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children.  If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.

If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math.  Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?

Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”

That seems just fine.
