No doubt, some of the same “environmental groups” who rage against fossil fuel....
Kennedy FRied Chicken - KFC
BrightSource my singed tail feathers!
Tastes like fried chicken.
“...the intense heat surrounding the towers, which can reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit”
Man, that’ll really seal in them juices!
Turn some cats loose to clean up the mess!
Well, there you go. Just have a wind farm pluck ‘em first, and you got it made.
Dear enviros,
This is rich. This was built on your behalf. If you can’t foresee that tiny little fluff-balls of black would instantly crisp in multi-million watt beams of light, which were an essential part of the design, why exactly should we believe that you can model the entire climate with all its myriads of intricacies, and thereby accurately predict doom, unless we do everything you ask for? Like building giant solar furnaces in the deserts where tiny little black, i.e. light-absorbing, birds fly? Hmmm?
Please savor the thought, for a moment here.
And then kindly respond to my question.
Sincerely,
Coloradan The Skeptic
It’s actually in the California desert.
What an eye sore.. Covering the ground with plates of scorching hot panels. Why aren’t environmentalists upset about THAT?
They found like a million fried Spotted Owls at this place.
Morons.
First, the obligatory observation that once again, the lib utopia has completely ignored or otherwise not anticipated the inevitable consequences. Short-term gratification with no regard for potential ramifications. Between the huge body of evidence that lib good intentions inevitably end up causing more damage than they fix, and the Haidt study showing how lib thinking is not the equal of conservative thinking, I suggest that there may be the groundwork for a justification for excluding anyone with a liberal bent from ever participating in national politics.
Second, on another thread here about this very generation plant, didn’t someone say the libs barred OHV usage of this area specifically to “preserve” the desert wildlife, only to install this gigantic bird cooker?
Has anyone calculated the cost of keepint those 300,000 mirrors focused on the big matchstick. What is going to be the cost of maintaining 300,000 motors as well as picking up and discarding all those birds.
Screw the birds! Let the solar plant rip!
Any body who worries about a few dead birds forget about the fish that get chewed up by the props of the millions of ships. Also, don’t forget road kill!
