Solar production has begun at the Great Cove I and II solar facilities in central Pennsylvania, spread across Fulton and Franklin counties in central Pennsylvania, with a 220 MW capacity and comprised of more than 485,000 panels.
University of Pennsylvania will purchase all electricity produced at the facilities, stemming from a PPA the university signed in 2020 with Community Energy, since acquired by AES. Project construction began in 2022, with pre-panel construction occurring from April 2022 to May 2023. Panel installation took place from last May to December, with substation interconnection testing in November.
“I couldn’t be prouder that we’ve made such rapid, milestone progress toward carbon neutrality, not only for Penn but for the city of Philadelphia,” says UPenn’s J. Larry Jameson. “We’re taking on the greatest challenges of our time, and at the top of that list is climate change and sustainability.”

Is School a Jail Sentence?
We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme. Jail sentence? Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?
What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically? Well, their kids learn to:
- Read and write
- Do math, at least through algebra
- Understand some level of history and geography
- Make friends and get along with others
- Establish independence from the parents
- Gain the qualifications for employment
What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty? Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?
Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?
Today we had another “assassination attempt.”
Is it the fourth or the fifth? I lost track after his ear grew back.
Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.
Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
