Standard Solar has acquired Bluebonnet, a 9.9 MW behind-the-meter solar project from EDF Renewables, to power part of an industrial process load for Messer Americas in Texas. 

EDF Renewables’ distribution-scale power team developed the project and will continue to perform the role of EPC contractor throughout construction, with Standard Solar the long-term owner and operator.

“This project represents a significant milestone for Standard Solar as we expand our footprint into the Texas renewable energy market,” says Eric Partyka, Standard Solar’s director of business development.

“This marks the fourth collaboration between Standard Solar and EDF Renewables in the past two to three years, including projects such as Lawsbrook, Knox and Lehigh University. We firmly believe in nurturing enduring partnerships founded on strong customer relationships, as well as with partners like EDF Renewables, who excel in constructing projects we can all take pride in.”

The Bluebonnet project features bifacial modules on single-axis trackers and is being developed on a greenfield site in McGregor, Texas. The project is expected to yield approximately 25,000 MWh of clean, renewable energy annually, says Standard Solar.

“This project is exciting for EDF Renewables, having been in the works for quite some time,” adds EDF Renewables’ Lincoln Lande. “We are fortunate to have cultivated a strong partnership with the Messer team, all while collaborating with our longstanding partner, Standard Solar. It is gratifying to play a pivotal role in facilitating Messer’s expansion in Texas through renewable energy sources.”

The Bluebonnet project is slated for completion next year, with construction efforts underway.

Why Are We Doing This?

I join those who say that the human race has evolved to be tribal and selfish. We are largely indifferent to the needs of others, and the capitalist society we’ve built has only served to reenforce this.

As Tom Waits observed, “We’re monkeys with money and guns.”

Now, are there some extremely decent and kind people spread around the globe?  Of course.  But they tend not to be the billionaires who make all the important decisions as to the how our culture will conduct itself.

Is ir Possible that Republicans “Will Never Win Again?”

Published

Well, never is a long time, as they say.

Yet imagine this scenario, which is quite possible:

Trump is impeached and removed.  Almost immediately, there is an incredible outpouring of information on an additional set of crimes committed by Trump and his administration.  Simultaneously, the U.S. morphs into a social democracy, and its people enjoy quality education, access to healthcare, and prosperity, not unlike those in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the globe.

Yes, there will always be Republicans promising mass deportations and whatever else appeals to a dwindling MAGA base, but I would think they will have one hell of a hard time winning a national election.

Republican Platform Fraught with Credibility Challenges

Published

The GOP can say the American economy is skyrocketing.  But then there’s that nasty little piece of reality that people can’t afford groceries and are suffering financially more generally.

Or they can day that people are suffering financially, but it’s Biden’s fault.  Oops.  Biden left office 588 days ago.

Or they can say that the war in Iran has driven up gas prices, but that will turn immediately because we’ve won the war.  Yikes.  What can we say about all these bombs?

Or they can say that all the racial hatred and divisiveness is Obama’s fault. No, that’s problematic, since he’s been gone for almost 10 years.

Trump supporters may not be too sharp, but even they are having trouble accepting all this crap.
