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.

Not sure about this.

A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.

This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.

Big Win for Those Incapable of Elementary School Math

The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%.  To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.

Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.

Social Justice and Despotism?

Published

This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.

If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.

What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy?  Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?

I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
