Independent power producer Silicon Ranch and distribution cooperative Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative (SSVEC) have completed the 20 MW AC McNeal Solar Farm.
The project includes an 80 MWh battery energy storage system, enabling SSVEC to meet increasing load demand and the power needs of more than 3,000 households across southeastern Arizona.
“As the largest electric cooperative in Arizona, providing our members with safe, reliable and affordable power is our number one priority, and our new partnership with Silicon Ranch helps us deliver against this important mission to benefit our members and the communities we serve,” says SSVEC CEO Jason Bowling.
Silicon Ranch developed and funded the project and hired more than 140 workers to build the facility. The company will also serve as the long-term owner and operator.
In addition to the solar and energy storage system, the McNeal site also features a new substation that replaces an existing facility serving SSVEC members in the area and includes the interconnection infrastructure for the solar-plus-storage project.

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology
I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea. But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.
Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom? And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial
In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child. I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.
They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.
Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children. If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.
If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math. Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?
Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

Pride Flags
To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”
That seems just fine.
