Sunnova Energy International has been selected by the Penobscot Nation in Maine to deploy a 0.5 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) for the tribe’s community and commerce facilities. 

“The advanced solar microgrid for the Penobscot Nation will be a source of clean, reliable power to protect and strengthen the community for years to come,” says Michael Grasso, executive vice president and chief revenue officer at Sunnova.

“Community microgrids have proven to be highly effective in combating power outages, which are becoming more frequent across the country. Recent destructive hurricanes, in addition to more regular heat waves and severe winter weather, all continue to expose the vulnerability of the electrical grid. Sunnova’s solar and battery storage systems offer a life-changing source of power for homeowners, businesses and communities.”

The project is supported by the Maine Grid Resilience Program, which selected Sunnova along with six Maine utilities to deploy electric grid resilience projects in communities throughout the state.

Sunnova’s microgrid system for the Penobscot Nation will be backed by its standard 25-year service plan.

Consider the meme here, and then remember that the nine of the ten poorest states in the U.S. (Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virgina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina) are all bright red.

How do they get away with stupidity like this?

Well, there’s the bottom of the state rankings for education:

  • 46. Mississippi
  • 47. Kentucky
  • 48. Louisiana
  • 49. Arkansas
  • 50. West Virginia

Do you see any correlation?

Good question here at left.

To me, it depends.

If the person seems intelligent enough to be able to hold a thought in his head that opposes his current beliefs, I’d actively encourage the discussion.  Otherwise, I’m out.  No need to raising someone’s temper for no reason or gain.

Emigrating to a Social Democracy

Published

To the jackass who sent me the meme here: What about the 5 million Americans who moved to Canada? What about the steady flow of Americans expatriating to Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland and Northern Europe?

My wife and I have two kids and a grandchild in the States, and we have a gaggle of medicos to address the various health conditions associated with aging.  If that weren’t the case, I’d be writing this from Stockholm or Aukland.

I wouldn’t be looking for a “utopia,” just an escape from the frustration, anger, and sadness that I feel every day, as I watch the country I love deteriorate into authoritarianism.
