The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced that the Sunlight Storage II BESS is now fully operational, adding an additional 300 MW of energy storage to the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm in Riverside County, Calif., and bringing the project’s total energy storage capacity to 530 MW. 

“BLM-managed public lands play a critical role in the clean energy transition,” says Shelly Lynch, California Desert district manager. “The demand for renewable energy has never been greater and Sunlight Storage II contributes to a robust and sustainable clean energy economy.”

The BESS is in an area identified as suitable for development as part of the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Land Use Plan Amendment. The plan focuses on 10.8 million acres of public lands in the desert regions of seven California counties in order to streamline renewable development while conserving local ecosystems and providing outdoor recreation opportunities.

Many Say Fauci Should Go To Prison

Published

Oh my goodness! Is “Liz Churchill” right?

We hear all the time that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served Americans’ health needs under seven presidents, created COVID-19 in a Chinese lab and deliberately inflicted it on U.S. citizens, killing millions.   The anti-science right is cranking up the animus against the man, and now, tens of millions of Americans are desperate to have him sentenced to prison.

A few facts are presented below. What they seem to show is that whoever authored the meme here simply made up lies that would serve to undermine our scientific method and make all this crap fodder for the Fox News / MAGA crowd.

Unvaccinated individuals face a significantly higher risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 compared to vaccinated individuals. Historical and public health data consistently show that vaccines offer robust protection against the most severe outcomes of the virus. [1, 2, 3]

Key Data on Hospitalizations
  • Higher Risk: Unvaccinated people have consistently shown hospitalization rates between 1.6 to over 10 times higher than vaccinated individuals depending on the viral variant and booster status. [1, 2]
  • Early Variant Spikes: During earlier waves like the Delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that unvaccinated individuals were up to 29 times more likely to be hospitalized. [1]
  • Severe Complications: Hospitalized unvaccinated patients are more likely to experience moderate-to-severe disease, spend more days in the ICU, and have a higher likelihood of complications. [1]
  • Financial Burden: A study by the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker noted that unvaccinated patients historically accounted for the vast majority of preventable COVID-19 health system costs due to lengthy, intensive hospital stays. [1]
Key Data on Mortality
  • Elevated Death Rates: Data compiled by platforms like Our World in Data demonstrate a clear gap in mortality, with unvaccinated individuals dying at significantly higher rates per capita. [1]

MAGA Republican Runs in Wyoming

Published

Meet Reid Rasner (photo at left).  He’s a MAGA Republican running for congress in Wyoming–that’s a good fit.

He faces three challenges, however:

1) He’s openly gay, a terrible fit for Wyoming,

2) His politics appeals only to the true idiot.  While it’s true that voters there are not well-educated, they’re aware and alert.  They’ve seen trickle-down economics fail consistently since the days of Roland Reagan, and they’ll be very hard to convince that democratic socialism as it’s implemented around the world makes the nation’s citizens poor, and

3) I hate to judge a book by its cover, but he looks like a dullard.
