RWE and Peabody are partnering on developing renewable energy projects by repurposing reclaimed land previously used for mining. 

RWE is acquiring a majority interest in the R3 Renewables ownership group alongside founding partner Peabody. R3, a joint venture launched by Peabody, Summit Partners Credit Advisors and Riverstone Credit Partners, repurposes land previously used for coal mining to deliver renewable energy. RWE is acquiring SPCA and Riverstone’s equity interest in R3 and Peabody will retain a 25% equity interest.

The founding partners of R3 initiated the development of a 5.5 GW pipeline of 10 potential projects on reclaimed mining sites in Indiana and Illinois. RWE will acquire seven of the projects and enter into a joint venture with Peabody to continue development of the three remaining projects.

“This partnership is an exciting opportunity for RWE to invest in rural regions of Indiana and Illinois and bring strong economic development,” says Andrew Flanagan, CEO, RWE Clean Energy.

“RWE is thrilled to partner with Peabody through R3 Renewables to develop solar projects using reclaimed land on a significant scale. Solar and storage facilities are a great way to bring economic development via construction jobs, local and domestic investment, and direct community benefits and taxes as well as a contribution to energy security. RWE is excited to expand this partnership across the U.S. and globally to ensure local communities can benefit from the economic generation of the energy transition.”

Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Sustainability. Today’s Topic: Turn Signals

Published

on

Question: What would you guess is the approximate percentage of cars and pick-up trucks that use turn signals small town in an inland town in Santa Barbara County, California? Is there a discrepancy between cars and pick-up trucks?

Answer: Yes, there is a huge discrepancy.  Please see: Clean Energy Answers.

Possible reason for the discrepancy:

a) The main purpose of turn signals is to help pedestrians and other drivers to easily and safely navigate around you.  I.e., it’s primarily about consideration for the wellbeing of others.

b) Pick-up trucks are seldom driven by professionals in medicine, law, finance, corporate management, and any other position that requires an advanced education.

c) There is a huge inverse correlation between non-college educated people and Trump supporters.  I.e., the higher one’s education, the less likely he is to support Trump.

d) Trump himself has essentially zero concern for anyone who cannot make him richer and more powerful.  His supporters admire this callous indifference to others.

How Many Voters Believe Crap Like This?

We’ll soon find out how many American voters believe that the Republicans are the party of defending our Constitution.

Buying this requires that we accept Trump’s consolidation of power, the most blatantly corrupt president in U.S. history.  It also necessitates the belief that Democrats are essentially communists.

I’m betting that message will fail.

Keep in mind that the Trump base is composed of approximately 5% amoral rich people and 95% hateful morons. Not to put too fine a point at, that’s one hell of a lot of hateful morons, most of whom know nothing about Norway, many of whom couldn’t find the country on a map of the world.
