The "renewables" cause major environmental destruction, worse than the problem they try to fix!

Things that society will keep paying for as long as people do not realize them:

1) All energy sources have environmental drawbacks and none of them are "clean and renewable". We have to deal with the real trade-offs.

2) Deciding that you are the opposite gender does not make you the opposite gender.

3) There are two genders and they tend to have some important differences.

4) Humans can not create a perfect world, but they can pretend like they are creating one to the peril of all if they get the power to try it.

Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. It’s all for mother Gaia. They leveled the largest contiguous beech forest on the eastern seaboard for a fleet of eagle choppers that sit idle 70% of the time.

So rather than have a small foot print base load generation plant that can run 24/7 they wipe out the biodiversity of 150,000 acres for 100 year old technology that runs half the time. Who is paying for this? Who is making money?

Not mentioned is control of vegetation under and around the solar mirrors.

Not practical to hire Jesus and his crew to mow and weed eat.

Herbicide would be applied to the entire site location to prevent all plant growth.

I think it can be safely said that the worst environmental atrocities will likely to be committed in the name of “Climate Change”.

Shame on them!

The area is about 5 miles by 3 miles. There look to be about 2,000,000 solar panels in that valley.

The people who opposed the southern border wall and said that the border wall would “damage the environment, destroy plants and protected animals.”

Now have what they want:

“The massive solar project covering 150,000 acres in Mohave desert causes major damage to environment, destroy plants and protected animals.”

150,000 acres of shade on the ground where there isn’t supposed to be any! Did those idiots REALLY believe there wouldn’t be any effect on the plants and animals living there?

That’s 15 square miles of solar panels. Who goes out to clean the desert dust off of them? Do they need scarce water to clean them?

I got flamed by some moron on this board for predicting something very like this. The negative environmental outcome of vast arrays of solar panels was so predictable.
