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.”

I saw an interview earlier today, in which a TV news journalist (I forget which one) predicted that the threat of communism is going to be the central theme of the Republican leading up to the midterm elections.
This makes sense, given that the target audience is largely unaware that:
In the 1950s, Senator Joseph McCarthy led this nation through a nightmarish effort to imprison anyone with any ties to communism. This is now regarded as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

There are dozens of social democracies around the globe that offer the citizens extremely high qualities of life. The countries at the top of the World Happiness Rankings are, in order,

- Sweden (Score: 7.255)
- Norway (Score: 7.242)
- The Netherlands (Score: 7.223)
Now, many MAGA folks can’t find Finland on a map of the world, but it’s that very level of ignorance that makes all this horsecrap work.
Trump is working hard to dismantling NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the largest collection of American scientists focusing on climate change. He proposed a budget cut of $1.7 billion, or about 27% for 2026. More to the point, he shut down NOAA’s website, that, formerly, gave everyone on Earth the ability to look at key climate-related data.
In response, those scientists, knowing that we can no longer trust the U.S. government for real climate science, have set up Climate.us.

Looks great to me!
Here’s a short video that explains why we write.
Like the farmer planting to the seed, we do not know if it will grow into a life-giving plant, but we believe that it’s possible.
