I see liberals jumping out of windows....

Here's the problem with solar power: you need huge swaths of land for solar power plant to generate a decent amount of power. And that could threaten desert environments, too.

No wonder why there is now a lot of major research into the molten salt reactor nuclear power plant, a reactor design that has just about none of the downsides of conventional nuclear reactors and there is enough thorium-232 on Earth and the Moon to power Earth's energy needs for tens of thousands of years at current consumption rates.

Solar powers biggest enemy is an accountant. They can not break even without massive subsidies. They are not as clean a source as they are being sold as.

Liberals are always the first to attack solar power after we’ve first spent millions of dollars on it and then someone finds out it endangers some local species of mosquito.

Green energy subsidies are a monumental squandering of capital and public tax dollars. If “green” technologies had economic promise or potential, private capital would be invested heavily. The reality is that everyone has to obey the laws of physics. “Green” energy (solar and wind) will always be a niche market and will never power a modern industrial society.

References to Whorehouse Harry - nada.
References to crony capitalism - nada.

Yup, smells like liberals.
Stinks like liberals.
Sure glad we don’t have to step into liberals...although kicking them would be a very good start.
