The Nolin Hills Power Project
The Nolin Hills Power Project! It’s definitely one of the most ambitious and exciting clean energy projects happening in the US right now. Here’s what I know about it:
Project Details:
- Location: Umatilla County, Oregon
- Developer: Capital Power
- Size: 600 MW combined capacity (340 MW wind, 260 MW solar)
- Land Area: 48,000 acres
- Estimated Cost: Over $1 billion
- Status: Pre-construction, with construction expected to begin in 2024 and completion in 2025.
Key Features:
- Hybrid renewable project: Combining wind and solar power in one location to maximize energy generation and smooth out fluctuations.
- Large-scale battery storage system: Able to store excess energy for later use, increasing grid stability and reliability.
- Economic benefits: Expected to create hundreds of jobs during construction and dozens of permanent jobs for operation and maintenance.
- Community engagement: Capital Power is committed to working with local communities to ensure the project benefits everyone.
Potential Challenges:
- Impact on wildlife and habitat: Careful planning and mitigation measures are necessary to minimize negative impacts.
- Visual impact: Large wind turbines and solar panels can alter the landscape, raising concerns about aesthetics and property values.
- Transmission infrastructure: Connecting the project to the grid may require new transmission lines, raising additional costs and potential opposition.
Tthe Nolin Hills Power Project has the potential to be a major step forward for clean energy in the US. However, it’s important to carefully consider the potential challenges and ensure the project is developed in a way that benefits both the environment and the community.

The Sharia Law Onslaught
Here’s an ultra-right-winger who thinks that his voters are so stupid that they’ll believe that U.S. courts are routinely sentencing thieves to have their hands amputated.
We have huge problems in this country, but the “onslaught” of Sharia Law isn’t one of them.
This is a fine example of the decay of American education. Think back to when you were in junior high school. If someone said something like this, wouldn’t you have asked, “Are you serious? Radical Islam has usurped the U.S. Constitution? Can you provide any evidence to support this?
Now, we accept it, because some Trump supporter in congress tells us it’s true.
Forget about the Epstein files and the overt corruption in the White House. Let’s focus on Sharia Law.

The World Mourns for the United States
What the boob at left is saying is partially true, in that only some people in the rest of the world are laughing at the United States.
The vast majority of people I meet from other countries are crying, not literally, but they almost uniformly express their astonishment and profound sorrow that the former envy of the world could have been reduced to a banana republic — and in such a short period of time.

It’s Hard to Understand Those Who Don’t Vote
It’s hard to understand how someone can be so apathetic that they sit out an election where what’s at stake is American democracy.
Suppose you’re one of the idiots who believes that Trump is an honest and effective leader, that the 2020 election was rigged, etc. Wouldn’t you go vote for the Republicans in the midterms?
Suppose you understand that Trump is a pathological liar who has wreaked great damage on our nation. Wouldn’t you want to vote against the Republicans?
