QatarEnergy has partnered with TotalEnergies on a solar power project, as part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP), in the Republic of Iraq.

Subject to regulatory approvals, QatarEnergy will acquire a 50% interest in the project, with TotalEnergies retaining the remaining 50%.

This project, set so far to be one of the largest in the world, will consist of 2 million bifacial solar panels mounted on single-axis trackers and will, upon completion, be capable of supplying 1.25 GW to the grid in Iraq’s Basra region. 

The project is scheduled to be developed in phases that will come online between next year and 2027.

“I am pleased to have concluded our entry into this very important project for Iraq’s energy sector, and look forward to working with our strategic partner, TotalEnergies, to progress it to fruition,” says His Excellency Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, minister of State for Energy Affairs and president and CEO of QatarEnergy.

“We thank the Iraqi government for their trust, and TotalEnergies for this opportunity to support Iraq’s solar power development.”

QatarEnergy announced last June that it had entered into a consortium to implement the GGIP in Iraq, with a 25% participating interest, together with TotalEnergies, holding a 45% share and Iraq’s Basra Oil Company, holding a 30% share.

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
