The holes to fill with concrete pads are deep, and large in sq footage. Imagine the costs of digging them up? I think the base is about 50 feet in diameter, and 1 1/2 to 2 stories deep. To say nothing of the roads needed. When they build these on land that can support crops, they are permanently removing that land from usage forever.
I hope they collect damages on all the sacred eagles, owls, hawks and falcons that have been so wrongfully and maliciously slaughtered with full knowledge that this was a likely result.
Can’t we make a deal with the injuns that we damn well stick to!?
Amen...
Given the impending competency crisis as skilled technicians are replaced by diversity hires, I'm not so keen on nuclear power these days.
Wow, I had no idea...
Georgia has 3 operating power plants. One of them was lit this year and the two others are decades old.
A fourth power plant is slated to be lit in the first quarter of 2024, however, GA Power keeps raising rates. Another rate
increase is planned for 2024 to cover cost overages.
Wind power is so stupid. Nuclear is the only thing America should be investing in right now.
It doesn’t matter. The Indians owned the mineral rights and the company ignored their property rights. I hope it bankrupts them.
A BIG step and a GOOD step in the RIGHT direction!
WHY do I say that? Because most of these "Green Energy" deals have NOT really benefited the public... they've been NOTHING more than MONEY MAKING deals for GREEDY investors.
Trump recently aptly coined the phrase "Green Energy Scam" while speaking at a massive rally... and he's Right!
That still doesn’t quite make sense. Suppose I wanted to build a building with a basement. I wouldn’t expect to need to have mineral rights to do that.
If you wanted to build that building using concrete made from sand and gravel that you stole, because you thought it would be cheaper to steal it on site than buy it elsewhere and have it shipped in by truck, you would be in violation of the property rights of the true owners of the sand and gravel.
I think 1 windmill = 1 megawatt & 1 acre of solar = 1 megawatt of power.
I don’t want it either. Those windmills kill birds. Plus they are inefficient.
That still doesn’t make any sense. If I dig a hole to make a foundation and a basement where would the removed soil end up? Usually it gets trucked out and dumped somewhere. I’ve never heard of anyone needing mining rights to do that though.
IIRC, the Iroquois Indians have a similar policy on their reservation.
The tribe owns the land but the landowner is free to do what they want with the top 6-12 inches. Any deeper and the members need tribal permission to dig.
