all the enviros that want wind and solar power
I am not so sure they ever really wanted it at all. So long as it was a remote concept that no one could make money from...maybe. But once large corporations got involved that could employ economies of scale to make projects work...they made like amoebas and split. Now they seem to do nothing but write articles exposing worst-case scenarios about why what they once proposed is now a bad idea.
It reminds me of the solar concentration facility at Kramer Junction that does produce a lot of electricity, about 180 megawatts if I remember correctly. The problem is that it had to be split into five distinct plants because the incentives were written to exclude projects over 30 megawatts. Where is the sense in that except to limit big company involvement?
And you can put a nuke in my backyard. I have property that is close to one. Doesn't bother me a bit.
