SolarBank plans to develop a 7 MW ground-mount solar power project, known as the Stauffer project, on a site located in Lancaster County, Pa. 

This project is in addition to the recently announced 13.8 MW project, both of which are part of a portfolio expected to total 24.8 MW.

In March, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed House Bill 1842, enabling the potential development of community solar projects in the state. The bill is currently under review by the state senate.

The company says the proposed community solar project would be one of the first of its kind in Pennsylvania.

“Community solar projects enable the benefits of renewable energy to proliferate throughout communities in North America,” says SolarBank CEO, Dr. Richard Lu.

“Community members can subscribe to a shared solar power source and contribute to building a sustainable future without having to install their own panels. We are excited for the next steps in developing the Stauffer project, which would be a significant milestone in SolarBank’s community solar portfolio, in addition to being a part of Pennsylvania’s historic move toward a cleaner future.”

The company has secured a lease over the project site and will continue to work to complete the next steps in permitting, interconnection and securing the necessary financing for construction of the project. Development of the project as community solar will be subject to the final approval of House Bill 1842.

Energy generated by a community solar project feeds directly into the local electricity grid.

Is School a Jail Sentence?

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
