Origis Energy has closed on $71 million in tax equity financing with U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance for its 75 MW Rice Creek Solar project in Putnam County, Fla.

The project is contracted with the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) for 12 of their participating member municipal utilities.

“U.S. Bank’s expertise and commitment to the renewable energy market is helping us realize our large solar portfolio” says Vikas Anand, CEO of Origis Energy.

“Rice Creek is another example of their support empowering us to scale effectively and bring clean energy projects online. We applaud FMPA for adding more cost-effective energy resources to meet the growing electricity demand of millions of Floridians, and U.S. Bank for supporting the project.”

Rice Creek is the third solar site in the Florida Municipal Solar Project. Origis Energy is the builder, owner and operator of the project. 

Latham & Watkins represented Origis Energy in the transaction, with Akerman serving as local counsel. Sheppard Mullin acted as U.S. Bank’s Counsel, with Balch & Bingham serving as local counsel.

Who Will Inherit the Earth?

What Eric Hoffer, 20th Century American philosopher and social critic said here is interesting.  But is it true?  Does it have any relevance to our world today?

At this point, it doesn’t seem that the meek shall inherit the Earth.  And it seems just as unlikely that the learners will have any better luck.

It looks like the world, dominated by the fairly greedy, will soon be dominated by the supremely greedy, those who really don’t care one iota about anyone but themselves–billionaires aspiring to become worth hundreds of billion dollars.

This runs counter to the norms of all societies that came before us. Never in our past have we had a civilization dominated by people who did care about their children’s future.  Not even the most brutal kings and ruthless pharaohs of the past condemned future generations to dust.

If it’s true that David Valadao is moving back in line with Trump (which seems exceptionally unlikely in California), this jackass is in the slim minority.  Most congressional Republicans are trying to pretend they’ve never heard of Trump.

The representative’s district is in the rural farming region in Central California, but still, aligning oneself with Trump makes no more sense than cozying up to skin cancer.
