Strata Clean Energy has broken ground on its Scatter Wash battery storage complex in Phoenix, a 255 MW facility that is expected to become operational next April and will service Arizona Public Service (APS) customers.

“This groundbreaking demonstrates a considerable advancement in large-scale sustainable energy solutions in a major growing metropolitan area, underscoring Strata’s dedication to addressing critical grid challenges,” says Josh Rogol, Strata Clean Energy president.

“In showcasing our dedication to utility clients like APS and Arizona homes and businesses, we continue shaping the future of energy storage by ensuring grid reliability and driving progress towards broader decarbonization and economic development goals through local jobs and investment. It exemplifies our dedication to a more sustainable future.”

The company entered into a 20-year tolling agreement with APS for Scatter Wash last year, which resulted from the All-Source RFP APS conducted in 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, Strata will build, own and operate the project as part of the firm’s growing portfolio of clean-energy assets.

Mortenson was selected as Strata’s EPC partner for this project last April. Tesla’s Megapack 2XL battery system will be used throughout the project.

The Downside of Social Media

At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB.  A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:

  • This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
  • Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
  • Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.

Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.

This Is a Big Ask

Published

To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.

OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.

Please tell me there is a limit.

Trump’s Attempt at Bribery

There are so many obnoxious features of Trump’s offer to bribe voters that it’s impossible to count them all.

Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
