Standard Solar has acquired the 25 MW Windhub Solar B solar project from Balanced Rock Power (BRP), located in Kern County, Calif.

Interconnecting with the Windhub Substation, the solar project will supply clean energy to Southern California Edison.

“This acquisition is another example of our successful partnerships with innovative developers like BRP, allowing us to bring high-quality solar projects to market efficiently,” says Mike Streams, chief development officer of Standard Solar.

“It also aligns with our strategy of acquiring high-quality projects developed by utility-scale developers in the 20 to 75 MW range. Our expertise and appetite for these types of acquisitions enable us to strategically expand our clean energy portfolio and provide dependable, sustainable power to the grid.”

Located to address energy delivery challenges in the Mojave area, the ground-mount solar project will span 160 acres, with 112 acres dedicated to the solar array. A portion of the land will be preserved to safeguard a native Joshua Tree grove.

Project construction is slated to begin next year.

EOS Capital Advisors supported BRP in this acquisition by providing sell-side advisory services.

It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.

Yet, it was very recently that the entire nation became a force for the destruction of civil society.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
