Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has inked two long-term offtake agreements with Tesco and Shell, covering 100% of the solar power generation from its Cleve Hill Solar Park, a 373 MW solar and 150 MW battery storage project.

The project is due to commence operations next year.

“The offtake agreements secured with Tesco and Shell are a testament to this landmark renewables project for the U.K. and represent a significant milestone in delivering long-term inflation linked revenues for our investors, supporting new construction and jobs,” says Keith Gains, managing director and U.K. regional lead for Quinbrook.

“Cleve Hill has set new benchmarks for U.K. solar and helps Quinbrook further its efforts to support the U.K.’s decarbonization goals and energy independence through large-scale solar plus battery storage projects.”

Quinbrook’s 15-year PPA with Tesco is the largest solar corporate PPA executed in the U.K. to date, adds the company, and will account for 65% of the expected solar generation from Cleve Hill once operational.

Shell has signed a 10-year Route to Market agreement with Quinbrook to manage 100% of the capacity that was secured by Quinbrook under a 15-year Contract for Difference in 2022 as part of the U.K.’s Allocation Round 4, equivalent to 35% of the expected solar generation from Cleve Hill.

Cleve Hill was granted development consent in 2020 by the U.K. Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.

For How Much Longer Is the World “Running on Oil?”

Is our civilization’s dependence on oil “not going to change?”

Obviously, Big Oil wants to keep the status quo in place, regardless of the environmental damage it’s doing to every living creature on this planet. And the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to make sure this assault against all life forms endures in perpetuity.

But this won’t work.  It may be true that the United States is rapidly transforming itself into a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and the other 50+ sovereign nations on this planet.  But the rest of the developed world is working hard to decarbonize its energy and transportation sectors so as to prevent environmental collapse.

White Nationalists Want to Tell You What the Constitution Means

Hillsdale “College” writes:
Enroll today in Hillsdale’s most popular free online course, “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution.”  In this 12-lecture course, you’ll explore the design and purpose of the Constitution, the challenges it faced during the Civil War, and how it has been undermined for more than a century by progressivism and liberalism.

Do you suppose, for a minute, that I want some ultra-right-wing “college” to tell me how I should regard the Constitution? What a sick joke.

I don’t want to hear from the John Birch Society, nor the Heartland Institute, nor the KKK, to lecture me on the meaning of the Constitution.

Removing the Cancer

Jim Meskimen, the fellow quoted at left, is among the brightest and most talented people I’ve ever met, but I take issue with what he says here.

When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.
