Sunrun and Orange and Rockland Utilities (O&R) have activated what the companies call New York’s largest residential power plant, using 300 solar + storage systems.
The Sunrun-managed plant was initiated by O&R and approved as a demonstration project by the New York State Public Service Commission. During the year-round program, Sunrun synchronizes the discharging of participating batteries to deliver stored solar power, with the aim of reducing stress on the electric grid during times of peak energy usage. The systems also provide a source of backup power to the homes of participating customers.
Enrolled customers received a free or discounted home battery in exchange for participating in the 10-year program. Sunrun receives an upfront payment from O&R based on the battery capacity installed, allowing Sunrun to offer the battery at a discount to customers.
“This is an important step toward the future of fortifying New York’s energy grid, utilizing innovation to build a more affordable and reliable way to deliver power,” says CEO of Sunrun, Mary Powell.
“We are excited to see residents of New York benefit from the sharing of stored solar power and know this partnership with Orange and Rockland will show the path forward for the rest of the state.”
O&R is a wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison.

At left we have John Fetterman talking to people so stupid they’ll believe that it would have been wrong for the British colonists to oppose King George III in the late 18th Century, or for the people of Germany and Italy in the 1930s to stand up against Hitler and Mussolini. What about the people in today’s dictatorships, i.e., the people in Russia, China, North Korea, or any of the other 50+ authoritarian regimes around the world?
Morons tend to agree with the loudest, most aggressive voice of nationalism, regardless of how little sense it makes.
It’s a great moment of opportunity for Fetterman.
Seminal astrophysicist Carl Sagan explains why uncomfortable ideas may be banned in religion, they must not be shunned in science.
This is an important concept in American life today, as conspiracy theorists are convinced that climate change denial cannot be considered in scientific circles.
I happened to bring this up in my interview with Dr. V. Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution, who has been amassing data on global warming since the 1970s. He laughed, and explained, “If I could prove that human activity was not causing temperatures to rise, I’d be be one of the wealthiest and most famous scientists in world history.”
As suggested at left, a great deal of the hardship that has befallen the U.S. was simply bad luck. Al Gore came within a whisker of victory in 2000, a win that would have forever changed the course of our nation in terms of energy policy, education, healthcare, and international affairs.
If Bernie had become the 2016 nominee, we wouldn’t have had Hillary Clinton telling our country’s most mean-spirited and least-educated people that they were “deplorables,” ushering a criminal sociopath into the White House.
We Came Incredible Close to Averting the Disaster that Is Donald Trump
