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.

Evaluating California and its Governor

Hmm.  He’s the governor of the most populous state in the country, whose revenues, if it were a country, would make it the fourth largest economy on Earth. His state ranks in the top five in terms of colleges and universities.  We’re wealthy, well-educated, and extremely productive.

It’s true that he’s not a Trump supporter, but California (and the rest of the world) generally regards the current U.S. president as a criminal sociopath.

Yes, that infuriates folks who are poor, ignorant, racist, and disease-ridden, but generally speaking, it doesn’t bother Californians.

Fixing America

Improving our broken, pathetic educational system is important, but it’s only a part of the solution.  Trump’s support is based on the fact that a) most rich people are selfish pigs, and b) most white poor people are hateful racists.

Decency is not taught directly in school (though it’s true that reading the world’s great books goes a long way to creating enlightened minds).
