That momentum hasn’t changed. In its coverage of Ivanpah’s ribbon cutting, The New York Times suggested that the era of large desert solar might well be over. It’s just too much easier, cheaper and quicker to cover rooftops and landfills and other already disturbed landscapes with solar panels, which have no moving parts and are thus far cheaper to operate than turbines operating at high temperatures.

Wackos need extreme heat to turn turbines which will save the planet from global warming. The circle of death.

Who cares whether some bald eagles or golden eagles are killed by Green Energy producers, but kill a little minnow in a creek? Perish the thought, they’d rather you die that the minnow.

I suspect the real solar flux is the change in attitude about solar energy within the ecological fanatics themselves.

I’m still puzzled over how desert tortoises can be harmed by this, whatever their numbers. Tortoises don’t fly and if they manage to crawl under a giant mirror they’ll only be gaining some shade.

Unless they are drawn to the shade in huge numbers so that maintenance personnel can’t avoid them, are they truly endangered by this site—or is championing the cause of the desert tortoise just another attempt by the eco-Nazis to bamboozle the EPA?

Is there no concern about the biotic environment on those hills behind the heliostat — the ones blasted by solar flux from misaligned reflectors?

But doesn’t it make you feel good to just do something to stop climate change, even if it doesn’t work, even if it costs all of our wealth and destroys our economy, even if it destroys all the flying creatures in desert areas?

We can tell future generations (who will be living short miserable lives in caves because we shut down all of the fossil fuels) that at least we tried, and they should be grateful for that.
