Renewable America (RNA), a provider of solar+storage and multi-customer community microgrid projects in California, has completed its 1.45 MW Fallon solar project, located in the Petaluma area of Marin County, Calif.
The deal is financed with Sunwest Bank through a sale leaseback structure, allowing RNA to maintain the project through its entire lifecycle. The solar site will become part of MCE’s service area portfolio and produce an estimated 2,300 MWh per year.
“We’re thrilled to reach this milestone with one of our forty projects and are excited to further contribute to California’s clean energy portfolio targets,” says Ardi Arian, RNA’s president and CEO. “This deal also marks the inception of fruitful partnerships with both Sunwest Bank and MCE, and we look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with other community choice aggregators.”
RNA says it obtained a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption permitting the construction of the photovoltaic facility, and was one of the first developers approved for agricultural compatible land use under the Williamson Act contract in Marin County. Specifically, the site will occupy only 3.6% of the parcel’s total acreage and retain the natural state of the remainder.
As part of RNA’s ag management plan, monitored sheep grazing will take place around the solar facility, and the county will evaluate the area on an ongoing basis, ensuring the land usage is environmentally beneficial.

The Downside of Social Media
At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB. A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:
- This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
- Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
- Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.
Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.

This Is a Big Ask
To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.
OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.
Please tell me there is a limit.

Trump’s Attempt at Bribery
There are so many obnoxious features of Trump’s offer to bribe voters that it’s impossible to count them all.
Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
