The Sunfish Solar 2 Project

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.

Today, I met a professional driver for the film-making industry whose principal focus is stunt-work.

Somehow, we got to talking about the many movie stars for whom he’s worked over the years, and how pleasant most of them are to be around.

He started by mentioning Kevin Costner.

“I really like him,” I said. Please tell me he’s not an asshole.”

“Oh no; he’s a prince,” my new friend replied. “I also do the driving for Jay Leno’s show about his massive garage full of vintage cars. He’s even kinder. When we’re having lunch between shootings, he’ll often come up our table and ask if we need another Coke or two. Maybe desserts?”

We eventually got around to the stars who are, in fact, assholes.

“I drive in Lethal Weapon 4,” he began.

“Let me make a stab. Mel Gibson?”

Yes. One of the most hateful, most miserable people you could meet in 100 lifetimes.”

“That’s the rumor everyone’s heard,” I responded. “It’s weird how people who have more money that God feel the need to be such terrible people.”

“Well, my theory is that money doesn’t change people; it only amplifies them.”

I remind him of Henry Ford’s observation above.

Great conversation.
