The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has named Vennela Yadhati vice president of renewable project development, tasked with leading the drafting of a 2025 strategic plan to identify NYPA actions and priorities for building more renewable resources and support decarbonizing New York state’s electric grid.

This new senior leadership role delivers upon NYPA’s expanded authority to develop, own and operate renewable energy generating projects to assist the state in advancing its clean energy targets.

Yadhati will lead a team under the direction of Phil Toia, president, NYPA development, who is charged with helping NYPA achieve goals for large-scale renewables and utility-scale storage projects as well as expanding transmission systems to support this growth.

Yadhati first joined NYPA in 2018 as a manager in distributed energy resources, supporting and executing renewable project contracts and identifying new markets and business models to expand NYPA’s service offerings to better support the state’s and NYPA customers’ clean energy goals. She spent the past two years at Orsted, where she was a senior manager of commercial strategy and business development.

Recognizing the Worst Among Us

There are two types of people.  OK, there may be many different types of people, but there are at least two.

First are those of us who stand for the idea: live and let live. We don’t deliberately step on ants, and we support the rights of the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere to enter the United States to escape starvation and the threat of death by the Mexican drug cartels to pick our crops and live here, for months at a time, to live in the U.S.

Until Donald Trump rose to the U.S. presidency and gave us all permission to be our worst selves, virtually all of us felt this way. Were migrants a problem before about 10 years ago?

The other type is those like Christian Castro, who takes (took, past tense) great delight in tormenting the most world’s poorest and most desperate.

The story here from the New York Times:

Law enforcement officials on Friday arrested an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant this year and lying about it.

The agent, Christian J. Castro, 52, was caught in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tracked him down, according to the Hennepin County attorney’s office, which had charged him this month with four counts of second-degree assault. He faces an additional charge of filing a false police report.

The shooting, on Jan. 14, set off violent protests at the height of the Trump administration’s immigration operation in Minnesota this past winter.

“Today’s arrest is a critical step forward in our prosecution of Mr. Castro,” Mary Moriarty, the attorney in Hennepin County, which includes Minneapolis, said in a statement.

It’s OK To Say “We’re Not Trump”

It’s amazing how often we hear that the Democratic party’s platform can’t be “We’re Not Trump.”

Of course, I agree that Democrats have to stand up for lower prices, quality education, affordable healthcare, etc. But right now, the critical agenda item is removing this criminal sociopath from public office.

Biggest Threat to Human Civilization

Until Donald Trump rose to power, I probably would have said climate change.

Now, I would say it’s world fascism, as the world’s power powerful nation, at least at this point, is no longer a democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.

The planet is faced with rule by sociopathic dictators with absolute authority.
