The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is seeking developers to implement solar photovoltaic arrays and/or battery energy storage systems at four sites in Warren County.

The solicitation, which seeks proposals by Nov. 9, is asking for competitively priced proposals to design and construct 4.1 MW of distributed solar PV at two adjacent landfills in Queensbury, the Cool Insuring Arena and a Department of Public Works building in Glens Falls.

“The New York Power Authority is pleased to support the development of innovative clean energy projects in Warren County, which will provide economic and environmental benefits to the City of Glens Falls and the surrounding community,” says Justin E. Driscoll, NYPA’s president and CEO. “Working with municipalities to implement new energy solutions and lower greenhouse-gas emissions helps us achieve our renewable resource targets locally and collectively as a state to advance our clean energy and sustainability goals.”

The RFP identifies the following locations and estimated system sizes:

  • Glens Falls municipal landfill, 64 Luzerne Road, Queensbury: 1.5 MW ground-mounted project sited on a capped landfill;
  • New York State Department of Environmental Conservation-owned landfill, 51 Luzerne Road, Queensbury: 2.1 MW ground-mounted project sited on a capped landfill;
  • Cool Insuring Arena, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Glens Falls: 280 kW DC rooftop project;
  • Glens Falls Department of Public Works, 230 Dix Ave.: 123 kW DC rooftop project.

Submissions are strongly encouraged to incorporate battery energy storage systems (BESS) where possible.

The selected proposer will sell to the city, through a 20- or 25-year PPA, all of the electricity and attributes generated by the systems from the sites at a competitive price that will deliver cost savings.

Is There a Pattern in Republicans’ Behavior?

I’m not sure it’s as simple as this, insofar as Bush 41 and 43 weren’t criminal sociopaths.

I happened to be driving through Manhattan on the very day that Colin Powell was addressing the United Nations just a few miles away and claimed, and I think honestly, that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction,” and must be stopped by a U.S. military invasion.

Contrast that against what we’re doing in Iran.  Fifteen years ago, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), included Iran, the P5+1 nations (the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany), alongside the European Union made an agreement in which most of the developed world agreed that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon.

That stood firmly in place until Trump’s latest war crime, which is costing lives and choking the world economy, solely to defend our president’s neuroses.

Illegal Immigrants Are Voting Huge?

The Brennan Center at NYU’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.

Does that stop liars like Mike Lee from spreading disinformation of the subject?  Of course not.

There is no judgement day.  There is no Saint Peter standing in front of the Pearly Gates discerning good from evil and acting according.

That’s a lucky break for Mike Lee.
