YOU LOVE TO SEE IT: America’s Largest Solar Project Comes Online

Plus, the EPA boosts lead screening, the government establishes workplace heat protections, and more cities wean off gas.

Good things are happening! The largest solar energy project in the country comes online, environmental regulators amp up screening for lead contamination in residential areas, labor laws are catching up to an increasingly hot climate, and Chicago is looking to become the first Midwestern city to phase out gas appliances.*

A Boost Of Clean Energy
Solar energy has been taking big strides to wean the country off fossil fuels. After two years of construction, the country’s largest solar project came online over the past month in California’s Mojave Desert. Not only does it provide a supply of clean energy, it also provides energy storage to bolster the power grid’s resilience and flexibility.
Using two million panels and 400 miles of wires — long enough to run from San Francisco to Las Vegas — the sprawling project stretches across 4,600 acres of private land as well as the Edwards Air Force Base in Kern County. It’s the biggest public-private partnership in which the U.S. Air Force has ever engaged.

Solar is making up an increasing share of the country’s power grid. The country now has enough solar power to generate about five percent of the country’s electricity. Most of the country’s solar panels are utility-scale installations. With the likes of the Mojave desert project taking the lead, the utility sector is now the largest segment of solar power in the country.*

Alternative energy sources. Solar panels were never intended to supply 100% of the power.
You MAGA morons are so stupid, we have to explain everything to you.
No wonder you swallowed Trump's Big Lie.

Trump Admits Misusing Charity Funds, Settles Lawsuit Against Trump Foundation That He Said He Wouldn’t Settle

President Donald Trump must personally pay $2 million in fines because he illegally used his charity to benefit his 2016 candidacy. A state judge in New York delivered the judgment on Thursday afternoon. The judicially-assessed penalty must be paid to a number of nonprofit organizations in the Empire State.

Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M

NEW YORK (AP) — A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House.

Donald Trump found liable for fraud in New York civil case

NEW YORK, Sept 26 (Reuters) - A New York judge found Donald Trump and his family business fraudulently inflated the value of his properties and other assets, in a major defeat for the former U.S. president that could severely hamper his ability to do business in the state.
 
Across the country, houses of worship are going solar

This coverage is made possible through a partnership with Grist and Interlochen Public Radio in Northern Michigan.
On a Sunday morning in Charlevoix, a small town surrounded by lakes in northern Michigan, people gathered in the Greensky Hill Indian United Methodist Church. The small, one-room log building is almost 200 years old and the hymns are sung in English and Anishinaabemowin.
It was December, so Pastor Johnathan Mays was leading an Advent service, one of his last, since he would soon retire. In between reflections on scripture, Mays touched on an important venture: The church was planning to install solar panels on its larger meeting hall, working with Michigan-based nonprofit Solar Faithful to do so.
Greensky Hill has a long history of environmental care and stewardship, grounded in Anishinaabe culture, with a majority Native congregation.
One of the ministry’s priorities is the “greening of Greensky Hill.”
Mays said that prompts them to ask “how we can use our space and our resources to address those issues for climate care, or creation care, or what some people call Earthkeeping.”
As Greensky Hill works to become more sustainable, it’s switching from propane to heat pumps to become more energy efficient. Mays said solar will allow them to use renewable energy and give that energy back to the grid.
“The biggest issue was how can we get this huge building off of greenhouse gas creation?” he said, referring to the meeting hall, which was built in the 1990s.
Across the country, houses of worship are pursuing solar systems.
 
Facts like this is why the right here has to start a thread and ban 90% of the posters on line


Otherwise they would be proven to be idiots immediately


I’m glad they can’t always remember all the names they need to ban

If Oil alone cannot and does not power a grid ALONE, then how can that grid work????

The above are the types of questions that dog the great brain of Expresslane who believes any grid has to be a sole source, and does not know that pretty near ALL big city/State grids, rely on over lapping power sources, to provide where other sources cannot!


Next question by ExpressLane : what happens if you have a drought and the hydro cannot provide 100% of the power? No more hydro!!!!


(stupidity like ExpressLane above is the Left's Super Power)

LyingFish is truly amongst the most stupid on this forum.

He believes he is making a point and landing a zinger to show 'ZOMG a Tesla caught fire' as he thinks that a good argument against EV's. His mental capacity cannot factor in that there are 20 times are more ICE fires happening. To him that part does not matter.

So you see the extension of his stupidity to this realm. If Solar has ANY conditions where it might fail, then Solar should not be used. Zero consideration that ALL forms of energy delivery can and will fail from time to time and thus overlapping them is the best plan. Where Nat gas failed in Texas during a heat wave, Solar and other renewables performed admirably and helped lessen the problem.

But none of that is anything we would ever expect LyingFish to EVER show an ounce of comprehension on or any ability to discuss in a nuanced way. Expect instead more empty posting and just 'herp, derp' comments that are him releasing what happens in his head when he tries to comprehend an argument.

Nordy you buffoon, aren't you the party of the cult that hates any alterations to the earth's surface? Why do you hate the natural desert and the creatures that live there? God, you people are insufferable.

No wonder you didn't give any links to articles or even name the project, it being such an economic disaster that it is...

This project is actually, Solar Star I and II. It has a 579 MW nameplate generation capacity at a 32.8% capacity factor. On average, it generates 1663 GW/year, sits on 3,200 acres (not 4,600) and cost $2.5 billion to construct in 2016 dollars.

Put that against Palo Verde Nuclear outside Phoenix AZ that nameplates at 4000 MW, has a capacity factor of 94%, sits on 4,000 acres of land and cost in 2016 dollars $11.5 billion to build. It generates 32,300 GW/year on average.

That means for plants like Solar Star I & II to match the output of Palo Verde Nuclear you need in round numbers 20 of these at a cost of$50 billion dollars sitting on 64,000 acres of land. That doesn't include somewhere around a trillion dollars in battery capacity to allow 24/7 output.

So for just 5 or so times the cost of a nuclear plant, you can use solar to generate the same amount of electricity. But when you toss in storage capacity to allow that solar plant to provide 24 hour-a-day output, the cost shoots up to almost 50 times what building one nuclear plant to match it would cost.

Solar sucks a huge cock. It is singularly the worst way to generate electricity there is.

So you think you're smarter than all these energy experts who did feasibility studies and invested millions into these project?

I don't think so, terry. Your disdain towards alternative energy has distorted your thinking.
