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.

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?
If you’re a competent woman working at the highest echelon in the U.S. government, better start packing your bags.
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.
