The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) began construction of what the state calls its largest onsite solar plus storage project to date: a solar carport canopy at John F. Kennedy International Airport. 

Once operational, the project is expected to help power the AirTrain and reduce electricity costs for residents of low-income neighborhoods in Queens. Located in the airport’s long-term parking lot 9, the JFK solar carport will be erected as a canopy, and is expected to generate 12 MW. The project will also include a 7.5 MW BESS. 

“We are breaking ground on a game-changing solar project, which will give power to the AirTrain and support thousands of families in Queens,” says New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul. “Supporting local minority- and women-owned businesses, this project will deepen our investment in the community while pushing forward New York’s nation-leading climate goals.”

The project is set to be built in two phases. Phase 1 is expected to deliver energy by next March. Phase 2 is expected to deliver energy to Con Edison for the surrounding community in April 2026.

The Sharia Law Onslaught

Here’s an ultra-right-winger who thinks that his voters are so stupid that they’ll believe that U.S. courts are routinely sentencing thieves to have their hands amputated.

We have huge problems in this country, but the “onslaught” of Sharia Law isn’t one of them.

This is a fine example of the decay of American education. Think back to when you were in junior high school.  If someone said something like this, wouldn’t you have asked, “Are you serious? Radical Islam has usurped the U.S. Constitution?  Can you provide any evidence to support this?

Now, we accept it, because some Trump supporter in congress tells us it’s true.

Forget about the Epstein files and the overt corruption in the White House.  Let’s focus on Sharia Law.

The World Mourns for the United States

Published

What the boob at left is saying is partially true, in that only some people in the rest of the world are laughing at the United States.

The vast majority of people I meet from other countries are crying, not literally, but they almost uniformly express their astonishment and profound sorrow that the former envy of the world could have been reduced to a banana republic — and in such a short period of time.

It’s Hard to Understand Those Who Don’t Vote

It’s hard to understand how someone can be so apathetic that they sit out an election where what’s at stake is American democracy.

Suppose you’re one of the idiots who believes that Trump is an honest and effective leader, that the 2020 election was rigged, etc.  Wouldn’t you go vote for the Republicans in the midterms?

Suppose you understand that Trump is a pathological liar who has wreaked great damage on our nation.  Wouldn’t you want to vote against the Republicans?
