The San Rafael City Schools (SRCS) Board of Education has selected REC Solar to build, own and operate 2.3 MW of rooftop and canopy solar arrays at five schools throughout the district.

Following installations at Glenwood and San Pedro Elementary schools, SRCS and clean energy consultants from NV5 created a plan to drive additional savings through seven solar installations at Davidson Middle, San Rafael High, Terra Linda High, Bahia Vista Elementary and Venetia Valley schools.

“The whole team at REC Solar is thrilled for the opportunity to provide San Rafael City Schools and their community with sustainable energy solutions that not only empower the schools with reliable clean energy but also provide economic benefits, educational opportunities and shaded areas for parking cars and playing by the fields,” says REC Solar’s Scott Therein.

The projects are financed through 25-year PPAs with REC Solar. As part of the agreement, the company will sell the power generated to the district at a fixed rate lower than the utility.

REC Solar will manage the design, permitting, financing, and installation of the solar projects at each SRCS location.

Construction is expected to begin at the schools next year, though construction activities will be staggered between sites. All sites are scheduled for completion by 2026.

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

Published

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.
