Talquin Electric Cooperative, Seminole Electric Cooperative and Origis Energy have completed three new solar facilities totaling 7 MW AC: Hinson Solar (4 MW), Gadsden County, Fla.; Hilliardville Solar (2 MW). Wakulla County, Fla.; and Bristol Solar (630 kW), Liberty County, Fla.

All three projects were developed, constructed and are owned by Origis Energy. Each will deliver energy at competitive rates under power purchase agreements (PPAs) executed between Seminole Electric Cooperative, Talquin’s wholesale power provider, and Origis.

“These three projects represent a significant step forward and we are excited to provide predictable, affordable, clean electricity to our members,” says Tracy Bensley, general manager of Talquin Electric Cooperative. “Bringing these projects to fruition will generate enough clean energy to replace fossil fuel-generated electricity for up to 1,400 homes in our area while ensuring stable rates for our members and shielding them from the fluctuations of traditional fuel costs.”

During construction, each plant employed approximately 30 workers with a combined direct local economic benefit of an estimated $1.6 million. Over the lifetime of the plants, they will generate an additional estimated $2.2 million in direct economic benefits combined.

At each location, native grasses and plants that will provide berries for wildlife were used as part of the vegetative buffer.

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

Published

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

Published

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.
