Eviro-Insanity. All this will be is a reason for Socialists to come up with some new laws and regulations. Remember to the Communists the only cure for problems caused by Socialism...More Socialism.
admins, please remove repeated posts
What do they taste like marinated and cooked over open mesquite?
It’s no surprise that California kangaroo rats are kinky.
“admins, please remove repeated posts”
I thought it was for emphasis ... kind of fitting ... they are probably going to cost at least three times more than they should.
One of the comments at the link;
“They must have made the union boss or one of his bought and paid for politicians mad.
A Move to Put the Union Label on Solar Power Plants:
—When a company called Ausra filed plans for a big solar power plant in California, it was deluged with demands from a union group that it study the effect on creatures like the short-nosed kangaroo rat and the ferruginous hawk. By contrast, when a competitor, BrightSource Energy, filed plans for an even bigger solar plant that would affect the imperiled desert tortoise, the same union group, California Unions for Reliable Energy, raised no complaint. Instead, it urged regulators to approve the project as quickly as possible.
One big difference between the projects? Ausra had rejected demands that it use only union workers to build its solar farm, while BrightSource pledged to hire labor-friendly contractors. As California moves to license dozens of huge solar power plants to meet the state’s renewable energy goals, some developers contend they are being pressured to sign agreements pledging to use union labor. If they refuse, they say, they can count on the union group to demand costly environmental studies and deliver hostile testimony at public hearings.
If they commit at the outset to use union labor, they say, the environmental objections never materialize. “This does stress the limits of credibility to some extent,” a California energy commissioner, Jeffrey Byron, said at one contentious hearing, “when an attorney representing a labor union is so focused on the potential impact of a solar power plant on birds.”—”
It's not their foot they are shooting, it's America's.
There will never be an energy source that they leftists won't first advocate, and then rabidly oppose as soon as the eeeeeeeeevil corporations have invested vast amounts of money in it.
The goal isn't "clean" energy, it's no energy.
They won't be happy until the few surviving Americans are living "sustainably" in mud huts and eating raw food (fire bad, starvation good)...
LOL!
What a crock! You can build in the middle of this rodent’s nest and he simply will build on top of or next to or in it! California is full of these pitiful cult driven useful idiots who have long gorged at a communal trough of mindlessness environ cults. The Kangaroo rat and the cockroach are true survivors.....get a life CA NUTS..................
So maybe they aren't really endangered?
Good catch, thanks!
Another comment;
“We need to put panels on every roof top in this state before we destroy any more open space to build power plants.
If we mandated that ever house had to produce 50% of it’s power consumption, we would have this under control. Those that don’t want to place panels on their roofs could buy credits from those that produce more than 50% of their consumption. Also, if the utility companies were required to purchase excess power at market rates, you would see a boom in solar panel installation, creating many more jobs that these plants will every produce. Why are utility companies allowed to monopolize the industry?”
Wrongo, bucko.
Humans never make the list at all.
