Solential Energy has activated its Fort Wayne, Ind., microgrid, which was designed, built and installed by the company and enables the city to self-generate power for its water and sewer utilities.
Last September, Solential installed a floating solar panel array comprising 12,000 solar panels atop the municipality’s water pollution control storage ponds. It supplies 40% of the energy necessary to power the Three Rivers Filtration Plant, the Water Pollution Control Plant and the Wet-Weather Pump Station.
The microgrid design integrates solar power with biogas generated from food waste and natural gas engines.
With the operational costs for these facilities totaling about $2.8 million in 2023, the company says, city officials project that the microgrid will generate $8 million in savings over the project’s lifetime.

Are We that Dumb?
Yes, part of this is stupidity. But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.
I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand. She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end. I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.

Trump and the Declaration of Independence
Those who stand in opposition to the president have dozens of different reasons for their feelings. One, as is on display here, is that he’s an ignoramus.

Could Obama Pass a Cognitive Test?
Not sure about this.
A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.
This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.
