Octopus Energy has invested in solar farm developer Circal, with a target of creating 600 MW of new solar farms in the U.S. within the next five years, with a focus on Texas. 

Octopus-backed, U.K.-based solar developer Zestec is also setting up shop in the U.S., to build solar panels for commercial and industrial businesses. It, too, is targeting the Texas market, as well as Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.

The company says businesses like warehouses and logistics centers will be able to get solar panels installed by Zestec at no cost.

These latest deals were made on behalf of the Octopus Energy Development Partnership and Sky funds it manages.

“The U.S. continues to break its records with the amount of clean, cheap solar power it is building,” says Zoisa North-Bond, CEO of Octopus Energy Generation.

“We entered America’s renewables market just three months ago and have big ambitions to build even more green power. With these deals we’re helping power up the green energy revolution across the USA to create a cheaper, greener future.”

This deal comes three months after Octopus made its first renewables investments Stateside, with the acquisition of solar farms in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
