SunVest Solar has finished two new community solar projects in DeKalb, Ill., officially marking the start of electrical production at the facilities.

The DeKalb projects are two of the earliest projects made possible by Illinois’ Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), signed into law in September 2021.

The twin community solar farms are 3 MW each, include more than 9,40 solar modules and occupy a total of 24 acres on Gurler Road in DeKalb. The projects are fully subscribed by a mix of residential and commercial customers.

“We are pleased to help make northern Illinois one of the nation’s fastest growing markets for community solar,” says Bram Walters, CEO of SunVest Solar. “We will have developed over 57 MW of community solar projects in the ComEd region by the end of this year, enabling the utility to bring reliable, clean energy to its customers and help them save on their electric bills.”

CEJA increases support for renewable energy to reach 40% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. It will create nearly 9.8 GW of new solar capacity.

By the end of this year, ComEd expects to have more than 100 community solar projects on its electric grid serving approximately 25,000 customers.

Is There a Pattern in Republicans’ Behavior?

I’m not sure it’s as simple as this, insofar as Bush 41 and 43 weren’t criminal sociopaths.

I happened to be driving through Manhattan on the very day that Colin Powell was addressing the United Nations just a few miles away and claimed, and I think honestly, that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction,” and must be stopped by a U.S. military invasion.

Contrast that against what we’re doing in Iran.  Fifteen years ago, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), included Iran, the P5+1 nations (the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany), alongside the European Union made an agreement in which most of the developed world agreed that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon.

That stood firmly in place until Trump’s latest war crime, which is costing lives and choking the world economy, solely to defend our president’s neuroses.

Illegal Immigrants Are Voting Huge?

The Brennan Center at NYU’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.

Does that stop liars like Mike Lee from spreading disinformation of the subject?  Of course not.

There is no judgement day.  There is no Saint Peter standing in front of the Pearly Gates discerning good from evil and acting according.

That’s a lucky break for Mike Lee.
