The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) today announced the launch of expedited renewable energy solicitations as part of the state’s plan to bolster its large-scale renewable industry. 

The solicitations, initially announced by New York governor Kathy Hochul earlier this month, are open to all project developers. As part of these solicitations, NYSERDA included provisions from the latest rounds of renewable energy procurements such as inflation indexing and agricultural land preservation. This was done in order to maintain policy objectives introduced in prior solicitations.

“These expedited solicitations will continue to build upon our momentum toward achieving a zero-emissions electric grid,” says Doreen M. Harris, president and CEO of NYSERDA. “We welcome into this competitive process all developers who are committed and eager to participate in New York’s energy transition, and we look forward to working together to deliver significant economic, public health, and grid reliability benefits to New York State.”

NYSERDA is streamlining these expedited solicitations by selectively removing certain bid requirements that historically required substantial efforts to develop, but provided nominal value in bid evaluations.

Final proposals for both offshore wind and land-based projects are due in January. These expedited solicitations support progress toward achieving New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals to obtain 70% of the state’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and develop 9,000 MW of offshore wind by 2035.

How Should the Measles/Mumps/Rubella Vaccine Be Administered? Should You Ask a High School Baseball Coach?

There are so many things going wrong in this country simultaneously that it’s hard to list them all.

Here’s something that no one could have seen coming: (see short video here) crackpot politicians giving parents insane medical advice about how to care for their children.

If I told you that our country’s parents were making decisions on vaccinating their children based on information provided by figure skaters or lawn mower salesmen, you wouldn’t believe me.

But the case is actually worse; it’s coming from the White House.

Do Americans Approve of Our Country’s Execution of Innocent People?

In this short video on the bombing of ships leaving Venezuela, President Trump asserts that drug overdoses took like lives of more than 350,000 people last year, a figure that, according to the CDC, is actually 79,383.

In any case, the video fails to mention that executing people who have not been charged with and convicted of a crime is a violation of both domestic and international law.

Why January 6th Wasn’t the End of Trump/MAGA

Keep in mind that, in 2020, more than 70 million voters cast their ballots for Trump, who, though he is a pathological liar, is 100% trusted by his supporters.  When Trump said the election was rigged, the vast majority of these folks believed him.  Even today, more than five years later, there are still millions of people who believe there was rampant voter fraud in the election.

Now, is storming the Capitol and beating up/killing law enforcement personnel an acceptable solution? It wouldn’t be for you or me, or most people, but imagine you’re an uneducated white-supremacist MAGA guy, and your president is telling you to do whatever’s necessary to prevent the election from being certified.

These are people who were so desperate to hang Mike Pence that the vice president had to be escorted out of the Capitol building to a secret and secure location, so he didn’t end up at the end of a rope.

When asked about this, Trump replied, “Maybe he deserved it.” To anyone trying to make sense of this, remember that you’re dealing with a deeply disturbed individual, and many millions of truly pathetic people who believe his is an honest and effective servant of the American people.  In congress, we have a couple of hundred of the most terrible butt-kissers imaginable, all clamoring to curry favor with him.
