But if it's just talking about the solar array and construction changing the direction rain water runs, then this argument applies to any large building project and it's not germane to solar.
True, but all construction projects and parking lots have to comply with runoff and soil percolation requirements. I doubt these are concerns for any “green” energy plant.
They wiped out almost TWO SQUARE MILES of forest and grassland with total disregard for rainwater concentration and runoff management. They ignored it and let the concentrated runoff flow to neighboring properties and inundate them with mud and silt, ruining their land and ponds. That is gross incompetence. It sounds like you are perfectly happy with that.
Try doing that when you build any other type of commercial project. Tough regulatory standards must be met for any project except “green” energy projects.
In a similar vein, I’m angry about the lack of land remediation bond requirements for windmills. If you want to open a surface mine of any type, you must post up-front bonds to restore the land after mining is completed. Windmills and solar plants will be abandoned, littering our once-beautiful landscape with tens of millions of failing windmill towers, each held up by hundreds of tons of concrete buried in the earth. No surety bonds are posted to make sure those despicable towers will be torn down or remediated. I presume you are fine with that looming environmental catastrophe, too.
Just like everything else in modern America, there are two systems of justice and regulatory law — one for the favored classes and one for everybody else.
Even large building projects havew a maximum footprint to allow mother nature to operate.
he companies “created, operated, and maintained a nuisance … that caused sedimentation to pollute plaintiffs’ wetlands, streams, and lake. The court further finds that this nuisance has continued for approximately two years unabated,” Judge Land said in his order.
Sounds like Solar gets a pass in regulation. Unlike other corporations.
Where’s the EPA on tis violation? AWOL again.
Like all agencies run by this supposed transparent administration they’re no were to be seen.
Fact is they’re to busy going after individuals rater than big polluters.
