35?

Those were eaten last week by the birds & lizards.

[JRandomFreeper]

of which about 35 survive,

With a flyswatter, I could get rid of the environmentalists basis for filing suit in a day.

35 survive?

And on the next block 47 survive. I’m so sick of this S.

[FlingWingFlyer]

What up with the electrical workers unions? They should be taking their Louisville Sluggers over to the environazi meetings and having a little “heart to heart” (Or bat to skull) meeting with them.

[doc1019]

These people want nothing better for America then to put us all in tepees and living off the land.

[Dogbert41]

Only one thing to do. Fire everybody and shut down those powerplants.

[buwaya]

Among other stupidities, these are natural gas plants with near-zero emissions, even CO2.

[TheZMan]

There is no inherent difference between a mosquito chewing on you and getting smashed, and a butterfly getting in the way of your power plant.

I wonder how many of these morons gently ask the fire ant mound to stop attacking their foot.

[SatinDoll]

Next time would you please tell us where this is? “Bar Area” in an advertisement on the Contra Costa Times might be a clue to locality - California? - but lots of places mention bays in their local rags, like Florida.

[marron]

Environmentalists are frauds. They will file suit against any kind of power plant, wind power included, solar power included. What have you got? They’ll fight it.

Its a scam. Its how the people at the top and center make their living.

[SpaceBar]

So this makes two failed stalinist states on the pacific in the news this week.

[Wallop the Cat]

The species in question...

Seen one, seen 'em all.

[rdcbn]

Those plants have been there for about 40 years with no problems.

This is just one more attempt by the enviro fascists to de industrialize California.

I personally have given up on California. Let them run the state into the ground and let it be an example to the rest of the country.

[Ditter]

What to do, what to do......... have enough power to run our town or............ take a chance on killing these 35 butterflies........... I just can’t decide..... s/>

[Ronin]

Can the power company legally go to their offices and switch off the power? If someone is suing me, must I be forced to do business with them?

[varmintman]

The people who do these things are entirely similar to schoolyard bullies and they’ll stop it only when there gets to be some sort of a PERSONAL price to be paid for it which is beyond their ability to pay. If nothing else we need some sort of an organization which could go after these bastards in courtrooms.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

"We're not going to let this butterfly go down without a fight," . . .

Nope, we sure aren't. We're going to tie up courts with frivolous lawsuits against power companies which will drive up energy prices and cause energy shortages, and we're going to keep law firms in business for decades. We're going to do it in the name of some butterfly that we claim is endangered but has millions of nearly identical related species, and we're doing it because, deep down, we believe that all human progress and technology is a mistake that should be reversed and eliminated.

We're environmentalists and if we aren't acting like spoiled, petulant, nihilistic idiot children it's only because we're too busy falsifying and exaggerating global warming data at the moment.

[G Larry]

Time to countersue these people hating enviro-whacko’s, for economic damage, loss of wages, etc.

[matt04]

These morons really do believe that no species have gone extinct, had population decreases, etc. until humans and our evil power plants, cars, etc. came along.

The would probably sue if someone found a way to eradicate the disease carrying mosquito world wide. Oh what, they already did and millions have died as a result.
