This 309 MW solar farm in Michigan will be built on 2,900 acres and is expected to generate enough electricity to power 75,000 homes. Construction is set to begin in March 2024.
The Sunfish Solar 2 Project sounds like an impressive undertaking! Here’s what I have on it:
Key facts:
- Location: Michigan
- Size: 309 MW capacity
- Land area: 2,900 acres
- Power generation: Enough to power 75,000 homes
- Construction timeline: Starts March 2024, expected completion by December 2025
- Developer: Consumers Energy Company
Benefits:
- Clean energy: Generates renewable electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Local jobs: Creates jobs during construction and operation of the solar farm.
- Community benefits: Potential for revenue sharing with local communities, educational programs, and land restoration efforts.
Potential challenges:
- Land use: Converting 2,900 acres to solar panels could raise concerns about impact on agriculture, wildlife, and scenic views.
- Transmission infrastructure: Connecting the solar farm to the grid may require new transmission lines, raising additional costs and potential opposition.
- Community engagement: Ensuring the project benefits the local community while addressing their concerns is crucial.
The Sunfish Solar 2 Project has the potential to be a significant step towards clean energy in Michigan. However, it’s important to address potential challenges and ensure the project is developed responsibly and with community input.

Threats to America’s Health and Safety
Those who are involved in science are concerned that American society is threated by misinformation.
Of course, MAGA crowd, the antivaxxers, the climate deniers, etc. believe the opposite, i.e., the people like Anthony Fauci, who have dedicated their entire adult lives to human health, have suddenly become corrupt, and are profiting from fake science while destroying the U.S. economy.

ACORE Statement on the Department of Interior’s Action to Halt Fully Permitted Offshore Wind Construction Projects
ACORE Statement on the Department of Interior’s Action to Halt Fully Permitted Offshore Wind Construction Projects
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long in response to the Department of the Interior’s action to halt fully permitted offshore wind construction projects:
“Americans expect their government and private sector to work together to ensure that the lights stay on and their electric bills are affordable. The five East Coast offshore wind projects that have been paused should be a total success story: $28 billion in committed private sector capital, expanded port infrastructure, support for domestic shipbuilding, and 10,000 good-paying local jobs—all to support a more robust, affordable, reliable, and secure electricity resource base for decades to come. Given skyrocketing electricity demand forecasts and consumers’ clear concerns about affordability, projects like these need to get over the finish line to give people confidence that government and the private sector can still deliver on big things. Unfortunately, actions like this send the opposite message at exactly the wrong time.”
