Authoritarian climate crusaders most likely regard themselves as too enlightened, important and virtuous to heed cautionary tales about green energy. For everyone else, however, those tales remind us why we did not trust the crusaders in the first place.

According to ABC13 in Houston, a violent hailstorm on March 16 caused significant damage to the 3,300-acre Fighting Jays Solar Farm in Fort Bend County, Texas, prompting fears of possible leaking chemicals.

CIP’s statement confirmed that the “silicon-based panels contain no cadmium telluride and we have identified no risk to the local community or the environment.”

I get the same number as you. Remember, though, that is a square, roughly 2 and a quarter miles on each side.

"My car was destroyed. 1 billion in damage"

Gosh. That's a lot of damage.

Were you driving a car that was "designed for the military"?

Once again. Whos'truth do you believe?

"Quick read and no reason to fear dangerous chemicals seeping into the environment."

and

"But large solar farms often use the cheaper and more dangerous cadmium telluride panels."

According to "Sky News Australia", these were cadmium telluride panels.
