TotalEnergies and the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) in California have dedicated the 4.6 MW Orinda Photovoltaic Solar Energy Project, the district’s largest solar facility.

Designed, built, owned and operated by TotalEnergies, the project will supply EBMUD with approximately 10 million kWh of solar energy annually under a long-term PPA.

THe site contains 12,000 panels mounted on single-axis trackers across the 12 acre site.

“We applaud EBMUD for investing in clean energy to pursue impressive carbon neutrality goals,” says Eric Potts, vice president of TotalEnergies Renewables USA. “As a top solar developer in the U.S. and globally, we help utilities such as EBMUD leverage solar power to achieve their sustainability targets and reduce their long-term energy costs.”

The PV system is set to be interconnected with the local utility grid under PG&E’s Renewable Energy Self-Generation Bill Credit Transfer Program, allowing electricity generated by the project to offset energy consumed from EBMUD’s electrical accounts with PG&E.

Has Anything Improved in the Last Two Years?

It depends on what you believe.

Fox News will tell you that our southern border is no longer being overrun, that we’ve discovered that vaccinations are unsafe, that we’re standing up against Sharia Law, we’re preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon, prices are coming down (or soon will be), Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people and that the U.S. is once again respected on the world stage.

We live in a country where tens of millions of idiots believe every word of this.

A Relief to be around Like-Minded People

Published

I met a guy today from a rural part of Central England–“nothing but farms and pubs,” as he put it.  His father was an epidemiologist working for the United Nations, and so, as a boy, he lived all over the world and grew up largely in developing countries that suffered from horrific diseases.

He and his wife had the conversation one would expect from such people:

  • Why are we so content to ignore climate change that is ruining our planet?
  • Why are people so indifferent to the suffering of others?
  • How is it possible that billionaires expect to live well here on Earth while 99.9% of us suffering with wildfires, devastating storms, blistering heat, losses of landmasses, and desertification?
  • At the end of the day, is money really that precious?

Obviously, not everyone thinks this way, but to be in something of a “lovefest” for just a few minutes was a great relief.
