ReVision Energy has held a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week to mark the opening of a 14,256-panel community solar farm in Hampden, Maine.
The Wishcamper Hampden facility was built on a 25-acre abandoned gravel pit through a collaboration between Wishcamper Companies, the project’s investor and owner, and ReVision Energy, which serves as project developer.
“Because Maine is one of the most heavily forested states in the nation, meaning lots of shady rooftops and places where solar isn’t viable, we need these large-scale, ground-mounted solar projects to help our communities and institutions move away from burning oil and gas, ” says ReVision Energy co-founder Phil Coupe. “Every time we build a clean energy project like this one, we keep our dollars right here at home in the local economy, creating good jobs, and giving us that energy independence and resilience that we truly need.”
The site became operational in December and will generate an estimated 8,690 MWh annually.
Offtakers include the Deer Island/Stonington School District and College of the Atlantic, Isle au Haut Power Company, Bangor Water District and the Town of Blue Hill.

Maybe, as they say, “Hell has a special place reserved in it” for people like Thom Tillis, Republican Senator from North Carolina, who enabled Trump to rape and destroy the United States.
That was until it became clear to Tillis that he could jump ship, write a scathing book about the president, get all over mainstream news promoting it, and go on to enjoy another chapter of political success.
That we Americans are so stupid that we accept this blatant hypocrisy and criminality is sad proof that we’re not the people we were 20 years ago. Maybe what many people are saying are correct: we deserved what we got.
Here’s a short video from Elle Cordova that reminds us that science is something of a rarity in human history.
The great tyrants of history have done their best to cause the people they ruled to reject science, simply to ensure the masses are ignorant, terrified, superstitious, and thus easily controlled.
The current political administration is particularly engrossed in the rejection of science. I wonder why.
Are you saying that the ascendency of a criminal sociopath made Western Civilization great?
Not sure how credible that is to people with the IQ of an artichoke.
