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.

Is our civilization’s dependence on oil “not going to change?”

Obviously, Big Oil wants to keep the status quo in place, regardless of the environmental damage it’s doing to every living creature on this planet. And the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to make sure this assault against all life forms endures in perpetuity.

But this won’t work.  It may be true that the United States is rapidly transforming itself into a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and the other 50+ sovereign nations on this planet.  But the rest of the developed world is working hard to decarbonize its energy and transportation sectors so as to prevent environmental collapse.

White Nationalists Want to Tell You What the Constitution Means

Hillsdale “College” writes:
Enroll today in Hillsdale’s most popular free online course, “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution.”  In this 12-lecture course, you’ll explore the design and purpose of the Constitution, the challenges it faced during the Civil War, and how it has been undermined for more than a century by progressivism and liberalism.

Do you suppose, for a minute, that I want some ultra-right-wing “college” to tell me how I should regard the Constitution? What a sick joke.

I don’t want to hear from the John Birch Society, nor the Heartland Institute, nor the KKK, to lecture me on the meaning of the Constitution.

When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.
