Leadership from the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Red Hook Central School District joined together at the Mill Road Elementary School to announce the completed installation of three rooftop solar systems at the district’s elementary, middle and high schools. 

The $1.7 million solar arrays have a combined direct current capacity of 600 kW.

“NYPA’s partnership with Red Hook schools’ reflects our shared commitment to sustainability and teaching the next generation about climate action,” says NYPA president and CEO Justin E. Driscoll.

“Working with the Red Hook district has been extremely rewarding for NYPA, and the new solar energy systems will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs for the district.”

In total, 1,200 panels were constructed on the rooftops at the Mill Road Elementary School, Linden Avenue Middle School and Red Hook High School. NYPA financed the projects and awarded Red Hook Central School district with a $40,000 grant to support their construction. The systems, constructed by New York-based Solar Liberty, are the first NYPA-supported solar projects in Dutchess County.

Ask a Pro

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget.  Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means.  What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do.  You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country.  Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

I see.

There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.

LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?

Published

It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.

People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species.  Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed.  They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.

As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
