Ørsted has commenced operations at its 488 MW Mockingbird Solar Center in Lamar County, Texas, the company’s largest solar project to date.
The company has also completed a 953-acre land donation to The Nature Conservancy for conservation. This donation establishes the Smiley Meadow Preserve, a new protected area that conserves tallgrass prairie habitat.
“We are delighted to commission Ørsted’s largest solar project and deliver domestic and reliable energy to the Texas grid,” says Melissa Peterson, head of Onshore Development and Origination at Ørsted.
“We are very proud of this transformative project. In addition to progressing our goal of building out more American energy, we were able to form a meaningful partnership with The Nature Conservancy, advance our biodiversity commitment and preserve an important piece of Texas’ land and heritage for future generations.”
Ørsted worked with American companies for the project, such as First Solar for panel procurement panels, as well as local businesses, including Drake Construction and Pfifer Farms, in purchasing materials for construction of the project.

Wrong State
Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.
If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?
He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.

The Existence of God
I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion. No one knows how the universe got here.
The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics. How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.
I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?
More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God. Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays. In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell. To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?

We’re Having Trouble Thinking
At left we have another good reminder that our cognitive biases can render us incapable of thinking critically.
Some of us believe anything we want to.
