They Razed Paradise And Put Up A Solar Farm

Why? There's money for someone in it. Nuclear, coal, and natural gas are far more efficient, durable, and easy on the landscape.

They target solar here and rightfully so but windmill farms are far worse. Each whirling fan takes up a lot of space on both land and water, the blades kill birds and when the blades wear out after twenty years they take up acres lf landfill and can not be recycled for anything. They are also not very efficient. Drive past a big wind farm and over half of the big fans are sitting idle with no wind to move them or else they are down for maintenance because they tear themselves apart internally. Stupid people are responsible for this blight on our planet.

The woke green elitists believe solar and windmills are the proper use of all that land in what they call "flyover" country. However they sometimes get a little upset when someone wants to build windmills in the sea where it would devalue their seashore estates and mar their beautiful ocean front view.

And in the meantime, they want everyone to drive electric cars.

One result of all this climate change hysteria is that the only people who will be able to enjoy forests, mountain views, etc will be the uber wealthy. Welcome Soylent Green.

No, no, no. The fact is, the climate nazis don't want or plan to create enough electricity for all of us. They expect us to die off in great numbers so they are the ones left. The lifespan of the American male has fallen from 76 to 73 just since covid.

Decades ago the first few wind power towers in Texas were erected on a plateau West of Abilene. They were neat looking. Now there are widespread forests of these across the expanse of Texas with noisy, flashing, red lights that mar the night sky - all to make people money at taxpayer expense and all to satisfy the lies of 'climate change'. I fear we will never be free of these thefts of nature's beauty.

How many millions of trees will be cut down for these foolish wind projects before there becomes an Oxygen shortage and people cannot breathe without massive effort? A possible Consequence apparently no one has considered.

In Middle Georgia on I-75, there is a large Solar Farm that just went live. They bulldozed hundreds of acres of pine forest to make way for the panels. Yesterday, someone had put up a 4x8 plywood sign that read 'Rural Blight' on it. Two hours later, it had been pulled down.

It's certainly of value to write an article on one of the costs of a transition to wind and solar. But there's one thing that you will never see, a comprehensive analysis of all the ramifications of achieving the vision of some new future. Defining that vision would be a nice start, I don't think what the elites intend is anything at all like what the vast majority of "green" supporters think it is . And that is essential and should be demanded by any person being asked to participate in that transition. But as a whole, we lack that kind of inquisitiveness. After all,"we" elected a president promising hope and change without demanding to know change what from what to what. Who can tell us how much copper alone is required to achieve that future state, where it is and who controls it. How much energy is consumed mining and processing, where is copper smelted how much smelting capacity is required to meet the 2030 timeline or whatever the goal is, and how much capacity exists and how much would it cost to close that gap in terms of both capital and precious environmental impact? Same for Lithium, Cobalt ....everything. Don't forget the roads required to get to places we'd need windmills and solar farms that can't currently be accessed. You'll never see in one place the entire analysis of where we're going and what it takes to get there. You won't even see all of the questions that need to be answered let alone those answers. And of course you won't see a definition of the envisioned future state. Yet half of your neighbors are clapping for it like trained seals led by celebrities and politicians who couldn't build a bird house if their life depended on it. They not only have never taken a class in thermodynamics they may have never heard of thermodynamics. The entire thing is a folly and that's without ever considering that the folly is based on a fraud to begin with.

In the 70s I took a class on Alternate energy sources in college, there we learned that if 100% of the US was covered in solar there still would not be enough to replace the existing energy needs.

When the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow - Americans will be faced with BLACK outs - unless the fossil fuel power plants are running at 85-90% efficiency. Power plants can't be brought up instantly. We must have fossil fuel plants online 100% of the time - whether green freaks like it or not!
