Wind turbines kill thousands of birds and solar projects tear up fragile desert habitats. A coal or natural gas power plant takes up a fraction of the surface area and provides reliable, economical power regardless of wind or sun conditions.
Yes they are hypocrites. Here in NM, the environazis were quiet when X-governor Richardson built his railroad up the fragile La Bajada cliffs south of Santa Fe. An environmental assessment was quickly performed and accepted with little controversy and the RR was built. Try to build a new highway and see what happens. BTW, as noted elsewhere in a post earlier today, that RR has little ridership, takes about twice as long to get to SF as does the highway and loses millions each year with the taxpayers picking up the difference.
Absolutely. The whole green movement is a huge scam. It never was about conserving our flora and fauna.
It's always been about pushing the global socialist agenda.
And our public schools and universities are raising an entire new generation of useful idiots... but that's for another thread.
