Secure Solar Futures has signed a 25-year solar PPA with the Tazewell Four Seasons YMCA to develop a 483 kW power system, providing the facility with on-site solar at no upfront capital cost.
Located in Tazewell, Virginia, the Four Seasons YMCA community programming includes sports camps for children, group fitness classes for all ages and medical screenings.
“Going solar supports our mission,” said YMCA CEO Shawn Durham. “It will save us money that we can put back into programs for the community while also doing our part to help the environment.”
The array will contain 912 panels manufactured by Jinko Solar, which Secure Solar Futures will install on land adjacent to the YMCA building. After installation, the company will own, operate and maintain the solar equipment and sell the clean energy produced to the YMCA for the PPA’s term.
Over 25 years, the solar system is expected to produce 15,212,832 kWh of electric power, which at the YMCA will cover 98.5% of the facility’s demand.
At the PPA’s conclusion, the YMCA will take ownership of the system at no additional cost, producing its own energy for the remainder of the equipment’s expected 35- to 40-year lifespan.

Marxism
I would be shocked to learn that more than a tiny fraction of 1% of Americans voters consider themselves Marxists. The Republicans are hoping that propaganda like this will be effective, but that’s hard to imagine.
The typical progressive in the U.S. hopes to see this country refashion itself in the manner of the social democracies that are sprinkled all around the globe.

Woke Celebrity Far Out Number Trump Supporters
Glenn Close is what Donald Trump would call a “woke celebrity.” Yet what he’s deliberately ignoring is that he has virtually zero support from the entertainment industry.
Sure, you can find an occasional Clint Eastwood or James Woods. But for every one of them, you’ll find perhaps a dozen intelligent and kind people like Close who deeply resents Trump’s attempts to steal democracy from the American people and the rest of the civilized world.
I’m no expert on political demographics, but is strikes me that someone like, say Jodie Foster, who could read at age three and graduated from Yale magna cum laude, probably sees life differently from the MAGA base of carrot farmers, truck drivers, and appliance repairmen.

Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?
Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
