The Wahoo Utilities solar project, in Wahoo, Neb., has become energized, with the proceeds of the contracted land lease set to fund the Wahoo Public Library.

Wahoo Utilities has leased ten acres near its substation for the solar project, with payments directed to a trust benefiting the Wahoo Public Library, where the land owner is director.

A partnership between GenPro Energy Solutions, Sol Systems, Mesner Development and Wahoo Utilities, the project has 6,534 solar panels and a capacity of 2MW. It began development in late 2020 and was approved for construction in 2022.

“The 2 MW Solar project started from our Board of Public Works’ interest, after seeing many throughout the state,” says Ryan Hurst, Wahoo Utilities’ general manager. “The main benefit of this project and partnership was affordable power very closely priced to what we buy our blended power from the Nebraska Public Power District. The 30-year contract on this Purchase Power Agreement was a way to hedge a portion of our power portfolio affordability for the next 30 years.”

The project began development in late 2020 and was approved for construction in July 2022. A partnership between GenPro Energy Solutions, Sol Systems, Mesner Development, and Wahoo Utilities, it has 6,534 solar panels and a total capacity of 2MW.

ICE Officers Do Not Have “Federal Immunity” for Their Crimes

Published

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for “seditious conspiracy” and says, “to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony.”

I have to laugh about this, because of Miller’s use of the phrase “federal immunity.”  If you believe that for a second, I suggest you ask Derek Chauvin how he’s enjoying life.  He’s serving a 22.5-year state sentence for murdering George Floyd and a 21-year federal sentence for violating his civil rights.

If I were advising the governor of any of the Democrat-run states to which Trump wants to send federal troops, I would have him tell his people that, not only is the will of the people on our side but so is the law.  In fact, posse comitatus is among the most clearly written and important laws that govern our lives as U.S. citizens.

Further, if I would re-emphasize what a citizen should do if he sees an ICE officer clearly using excessive force.

Should Government Be “Run Like a Business?”

Published

on

We all remember the Tea Party folks and all those related American voters who said, “Government should be run like a business.” Admittedly, this has a certain appeal.  Until you think about it, that is.

It’s worth going back to what the Founding Fathers had to say about the purpose of government.  Here’s what Thomas Jefferson on the subject: (Government exists) to secure the rights of the people, such as life, liberty, and property, and to prevent tyranny.

The financial aspects of government were of importance over the years, but the concept of profit-making didn’t appear on anyone’s list until the late 20th Century.

Having said this, let’s agree that government should make certain “investments” in the well-being of its people, and education may be chief among these.

No one expects U.S. educational standards to make quantum leaps each year, but we as a nation would be well-served if our children were seen as important “investment opportunities” in our country’s long-term future.

RFK, Jr. — A Menace of Planetary Magnitude

Published

on

If it weren’t for the extreme danger he represents to everyone on this planet, RFK, Jr. would be a fairly good joke.

The idea that the president of the United States would appoint a first-class crackpot with dozens upon dozens of gross and deeply felt misconceptions concerning science to be in charge of Americans’ health is just amazing.

It would have taken the average citizen literally months of research to find someone so manifestly unqualified for the position.
