Typical LIB insanity...typical.

[PROCON]

Kitzhaber and the other criminal politicians who pushed this boondoggle deserve prison time.

It looks like Kitzhaber may soon be on his way to the big house.

In the Private Sector, EVERY LAST PERSON involved would be rotting in a Jail Cell awaiting trial for Fraud that carries a LIFE SENTENCE and 100% Civil Asset Forfeiture.

WHY ISN”T THAT HAPPENING?

They All deserve to swing!

This is just more radical environmental liberalism on a state-scale. Solyndra Part Deux. Just one more in a long line of failed liberal ideas because they think success is their warm, fuzzy intentions, not real world results.

I lived in Oregon for four years in the late 70's, early 80's. They were making it difficult for businesses from coming into the state to set-up shop and create jobs because the environmentalists argued that these "big corporations" would just pave over their lush, green state in asphalt. The town I lived in had 50% unemployment, 30% of the stores were shuttered, most of the properties were in foreclosure. Most of it from Jiminy Cricket Carter's 20% interest rates that killed the housing industry and in turn the lumber and timber industries that southwestern Oregon depended on for their economic well-being. But would they diversify their economic base with other type businesses? Not for a long time. Eventually they figured out, that without some planned development and the jobs that came with it, they would be in financial bankruptcy. Bunch of liberal light heads.

I eventually escaped to Arizona before I went bankrupt myself and never looked back. Arizona was booming and I stayed there for 30 years.

Also, here's the problem with solar power panels in Oregon: the western half of the state rains a lot throughout the year. As such, solar power is not as effective, unlike California, where much of the state has some of the best solar power conditions in the world.

Sacramento, where I live, has enough solar days to justify the US$10,000 needed for a solar panel array to power a house.

Oregon gets a lot of sun, does it? I did not know that.

And in a related Kitzhaber story...

Too funny.

Sadly, if the election was held today Kitz would still win.

So i’m on a detour through my town here in MA 2 months ago and i drive past this big solar farm filled with oxidized foggy looking solar panels that i never knew was there and i’m asking myself “Who the F paid for this Boondoggle?”.
Then i quickly realize who in fact paid for it.
Silly me.

Meanwhile my elec rate went up around 39% this year.
Wonder how those panels are doing with 5 feet of snow on top of them at the moment...

The solar arrays fired up a year ago, generating even more power than expected

So even when a solar power project does work at providing energy, liberals still manage to find a way to commit fraud against the taxpayers regarding the funding.

Solar power is getting cheaper and cheaper, and more and more efficient. Let's hope that someday it won't involve fraud or the screwing of taxpayers.
