So let's do some math here for those curious (as am I) about this rather lavish projection:

The average home electricity usage amounts to ~886 kWh/month, so this array is expected to generate 14.40 GWh/month. The report cites 50 MW of generation daily, which is laughably small compared to the next smallest renewables generation source (wood burning at 204 MW) in NE ISO's portfolio. And we haven't even discussed the impact of weather in New England and its role in reducing this output during solar hours.

As PJM (the grid interconnect) has recently realized to our south, reality often paints a much different picture with renewables as of now compared to traditional thermal generation. Sure, the 50 MW of battery storage is rather attractive, but consider that wholly inadequate when we get into regimes where demand outpaces both generation and reserves in storage. This is probably going to be most noticeable in the winter.

One should always question science as that in itself is scientific. There are some things that are just not really disputable however. Life beginning at conception is a quantifiable and well established truth and having an abortion is in fact ending that life. The morality of it all is really the only thing up for debate.

So wait…there’s discussion surrounding whether or not to celebrate the falling/demise of the Old Man of The Mountain? Am I reading this right?

Wow.

And, in an effort to drive the asinine discussion home, this used car salesman (lies) says most residents compare the loss to that of the TT’s falling on 9/11.

Just wow.

You read it first - he’s destined to do great things down in Washington!
