Straight Talk with Chukwudi Obi

A solar energy generation system planned for Farmington Central won approval for Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from the Illinois Power Agency (IPA) Wednesday, April 10. The IPA held the lottery to determine which projects would receive the REC incentives based upon a predefined application process and tied to the Future Energy Jobs Act in 2017 which opened up block grants to be utilized for clean energy. The credits are tied to a planned solar installation on Farmington District property on approximately 15-acres of unused ground on the east portion of the campus and will be governed by a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between Farmington Central CUSD#265, Clean Energy Design Group, Inc., (CEDG) from Springfield, and its financing partner, DynaSolar, a national energy partner located in California. Combined with the existing 756-Kilowatt installation installed by CEDG in 2014 on District property, once this project is complete and operational the district will have at least 80...

Environmentalists are fighting in the United States of America are fighting a solar farm project that would help Georgetown University dramatically reduce its Greenhouse Gas emissions. These environmentalists argue that the project, which involves razing about 210 acres of trees in rural Charles County,  could endanger the area’s birds and lead to runoff that would put tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay at risk. Officials at Origis Energy, the solar company hired by Georgetown insist that they are prioritizing the safety of the Bay adding that “trade-offs are necessary” in renewable energy projects. Reductions in greenhouse emissions from the solar panels, they maintain, would be equivalent to planting hundreds of thousands of trees. “Green projects do not destroy green resources. If you destroy what is saving our climate in the name of fighting climate change, the effort is hollow.” said Linda Redding, an accountant from La Plata who is part of a determined group of environme...

Since 2005, the International Internet Day has been celebrated to commemorate a momentous day in the history of telecommunications and technology. The event commemorated is the sending of the first message, first electronic message which was transferred from one computer to another in 1969. This was situated in California, in the USA. At that time, internet was known as ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). This was in 1969 when Charley Kline, a student programmer at the UCLA transmitted the first ever message on October 29, 1969.
