Pivot Energy has announced it is developing six Illinois community solar projects totaling 33 MW with Tapestry, a house of designer accessories and lifestyle brands that include Coach and Kate Spade.
Tapestry has committed to purchasing 15 years of Impact Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) produced by the projects, which will produce more than 50,000 MWh per year. Additionally, the two companies will invest $2,000 per MW built in local community organizations.
Traditional REC purchases typically come from existing wind farms, while Impact REC agreements are structured to put clean energy resources in areas primed to build new solar while simultaneously investing in local communities.
The new community solar projects are expected to generate an average of 51,760 MWh of clean electricity per year, equivalent to powering over more than 6,000 average households annually, says Pivot.
“At Tapestry, we know that sustainability is a business imperative. As part of our 2025 corporate responsibility goals, we committed to procuring 100% renewable electricity in our own stores, offices and fulfillment centers globally by 2025,” says Tapestry’s Logan Duran. “We also recognize the power of partnerships to drive meaningful change in key environmental and social areas which is why we are thrilled to join with Pivot Energy in implementing these projects in Illinois.”

In a recent post, I argued that our brains are wired in a certain way, and that we have little in any control over our values and beliefs.
German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte seem to be saying something similar here. To take me as an example, I’m no more capable of being a Trump supporter than I am in believing in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.
It’
s true that MAGA votes against its own financial interests. But keep in mind that they have other more important interests. e.g., punishing immigrants and other people of color.
As suggested at left, we can easily understand why Canadians are uncomfortable living adjacent to the United States.
Of course, it’s even worse down here. Unless you’re a hateful moron Trump supporter, you’re suffering, either:
Directly, via lousy education, poor access to healthcare, expensive cost of living, gutted government services and a poor job market, or
Indirectly, as you see a criminal conman systematically destroy the country you love. As someone said, “It’s like being tied to a chair and forced to watch a toddler play with a loaded pistol.”
