Pivot Energy and EPC provider GreenSpark Solar have completed a four project, 22 MW Upstate New York solar portfolio with agrivoltaics. 

The projects, owned and developed by Pivot, are enrolled in the Remote Crediting program, geared towards commercial subscribers, local farms, nursing homes and school districts.

The company says the portfolio is made up of tracker systems axes that adjust to face the PV panels towards the sun. The sites will also be grazed by sheep, mostly through United Agrivoltaics.

“Pivot Energy is pleased to work with GreenSpark Solar on this Upstate New York Solar Portfolio, an important step toward New York’s clean energy goals,” says Brit Gibson, Pivot Energy’s COO. “We are thrilled to be able to utilize agrivoltaics, allowing the use of land for both regenerative agriculture and solar energy generation, providing several benefits all at once.”

Funding for the projects included NYSERDA’s NY-Sun Program.

Countries Without God

A couple of months ago, I happened to ask a friend who had emigrated from Sweden if she was religious. “No!” she exclaimed.  “Almost no one in Sweden is religious.”

As we see at left, there seems to be a huge correlation between atheism and the national level of happiness.  But what causes that?

Are believers unhappy people for some reason? That doesn’t make sense.

Here’s my two-fold theory. Atheists believe:

a) That we only live once, so we try to enjoy it while we can.

And, more importantly,

b) That we need to take care of one another (since there is no God).  We’re willing to make sacrifices if that means things like great education, universal healthcare, environmental responsibility, tolerable working conditions, and near-zero poverty.

From the Independent: “Trump Administration to Pay Two More Companies to Walk Away from U.S. Offshore Wind Leases”

Published

From this article in The Independent:

The Trump administration announced two more payouts Monday for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.

Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million. Both companies have decided not to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the United States, the Interior Department announced Monday.

Bluepoint Wind is an offshore wind project in the early stages of development off the coasts of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind is a floating offshore wind project proposed off California’s central coast.

Trump is hellbent on destroying the renewable energy industry so as to benefit his billionaire friends in fossil fuels.

He’s on course to be remembered as the most destructive person in world history, with the possible exception of Adolph Hitler.

What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.

But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.
