Only the government can fail to the extent.

[Ditto]

Where is Al Gore? Counting his money from this BS?

[Uncle Lonny]

Good enuf fer government work.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Perhaps the solar panels can be broken up and sold to the off-grid hippies.

It will be our legacy. 50,000 years from now the pyramids will have crumbled into dust, but the bits and pieces of our ‘renewable energy’ projects will still litter the American wasteland.

[rktman]

DOH!

[BradyLS]

Surely they made money from extreme foodies treated to charbecued wild birds?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Article: "Ivanpah has been a super-efficient killer of birds.

It is apparent that the only thing "green energy" is good for is killing birds, whales, and other wildlife.

If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all?
If all things must pass
Even a pyramid won’t last

“Perhaps the solar panels can be broken up and sold to the off-grid hippies.”

those are not solar panels, but are just mirrors focused on a central tower ...

[stars & stripes forever]

HMM...

Will there be a memorial at the site for all the birds who lost their lives there? 🤔

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The fried birds facing out of the sky are knows as “streamers” at the plant.

[AZJeep]

there are no solar panels there.
Just mirrors concentrating the solar energy in one superhot spot.
Hippies would get some mirrors in their back yard. No good to anything, but for fun park, since they are of parabolic shape.

50,000 years from now the pyramids will have crumbled into dust.

That's about two ice ages from now. Pyramids will be ground flat by advancing glaciers. In 50,000 years, June 21 will have been the winter solstice twice.

[Signalman]

This facility is just off the I-15 as you cross from the Nevada state line into California.

[ridesthemiles]

OBAMA OR GORE???

[Jarhead9297]

You’d be right, except you are wrong. My Grandfather has solar panels in Ohio of all places and doesn’t spend a dime on an electric bill for 8 months out in f the year.

[shoff]

I guess us taxpayers won’t get any ROI on that “investment”.

[minnesota_bound]

It will be sunsetted... 😁 😎

[Organic Panic]

Nope. These are just mirrors and do nothing to produce power.

They should send them to the politicians who back this garbage so they can see their stupid corrupt faces better.
