Ah, environmentalists:
They say we need solar power, but then block the projects because they might have an adverse environmental impact and because they’re eyesores.
They say we need massive wind farms, but then block them because they’re eyesores, surprisingly efficient at killing birds, and quite loud.
They advocate geothermal energy, but block the projects because they might adversely affect groundwater.
They say we should use tidal power systems, but then shoot down every proposed location due to aesthetic and environmental concerns.
About the only thing they haven’t proposed then blocked is using corn for ethanol, which is of course driving up food prices and causing shortages in the third world where we used to send our excess crop.
My personal favorite instance is how the libs living in Martha’s Vineyard were the fiercest advocates of offshore wind farms until it turned out that the best location in the country for one is off Martha’s Vineyard. Then they suddenly had high-minded reasons for stopping the Cape Wind Project, nothing more than chagrined, disguised NIMBY, of course.
How long until they propose magic happy pixie dust as an alternative energy source, but then block the fairy ranching operations..? ;p
Their preferred solution is for 95% of humans to die and leave the Earth in peace...
