Jordan's King Abdullah II Emphasizes Support for Syria and Lebanon's Security and Stability

King Abdullah II of Jordan recently underscored the critical importance of supporting efforts to maintain the security, stability, and sovereignty of Syria and Lebanon. These remarks were made during a meeting with British National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell and in a phone call with King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, where regional developments were discussed. King Abdullah also stressed the need for intensified international efforts to achieve comprehensive regional de-escalation, ensuring the security of Arab states and restoring stability to the region.

USPS Expands Solar Energy Use to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

USPS Expands Solar Energy Use to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is actively increasing its reliance on solar energy as part of its broader sustainability initiatives. During October's Energy Action Month, a federal government program promoting sustainability and efficiency, USPS highlighted its progress in adopting solar power. The organization utilizes power purchase agreements (PPAs) to acquire solar energy for some of its facilities, which allows third-party providers to own, operate, and maintain the solar generators, thereby avoiding significant upfront costs for USPS. Currently, five USPS facilities—two in California, and one each in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.—are powered by these solar PPAs, with plans to implement seven more. This expansion has enabled USPS to surpass its goal of achieving 10 percent renewable energy consumption for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, with renewable sources now accounting for 13.3 percent of its total electricity consumption. The Postal Service aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissi...

Cleveland to Install Solar Projects on Two City-Owned Landfills to Lower Energy Costs and Boost Clean Energy

Cleveland to Install Solar Projects on Two City-Owned Landfills to Lower Energy Costs and Boost Clean Energy

The City of Cleveland is advancing plans to install solar projects on two city-owned landfills, located off Kolthoff Drive and West 11th Street. These projects, with a combined capacity of 7-9 megawatts (MW), aim to transform underused land into sources of locally generated clean energy. The 5-7 MW Kolthoff array will power operations at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), while the 2 MW West 11th array will supply electricity to Cleveland Public Power (CPP) customers, with cost savings passed on to them. Mayor Justin M. Bibb emphasized that these projects prioritize energy affordability for residents and leverage underused land for clean energy generation. The initiative is part of a broader regional clean energy effort funded by a $129 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, awarded in 2024 to a coalition including Cuyahoga County, the City of Cleveland, and the City of Painesville.
