Standard Solar has acquired a 12 MW community solar project portfolio from New Leaf Energy.

The three projects, based in Chatham and Kilmarnock, mark the company’s debut in Virginia’s community solar market and symbolize a step forward in the commonwealth’s journey toward a solar-powered future.

“These community solar projects are more than just an important addition to our portfolio; they represent our unwavering commitment to expanding access to solar for all,” says Standard Solar’s Harry Benson.

“By providing localized job opportunities and significant allocations for low- and moderate-income customers, these projects embody our vision of a cleaner, more equitable energy future. Beyond that, they strengthen our long-standing partnership with New Leaf Energy, underscoring our joint dedication to advancing renewable energy solutions in the communities we serve.”

The Kilmarnock projects, with a combined capacity exceeding 7 MW, are exclusively allocated to low- and moderate-income customers. Once completed, the single-axis tracker systems are expected to generate an estimated 19,811 MWh of clean energy annually.

“New Leaf Energy’s mission is to accelerate the transition to a world powered by renewable energy,” adds New Leaf’s Brendan Neagle. “Community solar projects are an integral piece of that world, and we’re so proud to partner with Standard Solar as they invest in that mission in Virginia.”

Countries Without God

A couple of months ago, I happened to ask a friend who had emigrated from Sweden if she was religious. “No!” she exclaimed.  “Almost no one in Sweden is religious.”

As we see at left, there seems to be a huge correlation between atheism and the national level of happiness.  But what causes that?

Are believers unhappy people for some reason? That doesn’t make sense.

Here’s my two-fold theory. Atheists believe:

a) That we only live once, so we try to enjoy it while we can.

And, more importantly,

b) That we need to take care of one another (since there is no God).  We’re willing to make sacrifices if that means things like great education, universal healthcare, environmental responsibility, tolerable working conditions, and near-zero poverty.

From the Independent: “Trump Administration to Pay Two More Companies to Walk Away from U.S. Offshore Wind Leases”

Published

From this article in The Independent:

The Trump administration announced two more payouts Monday for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.

Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million. Both companies have decided not to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the United States, the Interior Department announced Monday.

Bluepoint Wind is an offshore wind project in the early stages of development off the coasts of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind is a floating offshore wind project proposed off California’s central coast.

Trump is hellbent on destroying the renewable energy industry so as to benefit his billionaire friends in fossil fuels.

He’s on course to be remembered as the most destructive person in world history, with the possible exception of Adolph Hitler.

What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.

But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.
