The greenies want renewable energy just as long as it isn't nuclear or any other source built in their backyards.

LOL! Solar panels are hideous, and even more hideous are those gawdawful windmills. Aside from chopping up birds, they march over every hill in California, destroy the view, and make a roaring noise that can be heard for miles. But I guess in the view of the greenies, anything is better than petroleum or nuclear...

And lets not forget that no one must make any money off the production of that energy.

No wind farms near the Kennedys.

No gitmo detainees at Pelosi’s Alcatraz.

Now, no solar panels in Fienstein’s Mohave Desert?

I think Sam Kinison pretty much summed it up about world hunger and deserts when he was on Letterman for his 1st appearance;

It is the 40 story windmills that are the worst, it seems the left wants them as visual monuments in all of the parts of flyover country that they don't live in.

I'm glad this discussion has started among the left, nuclear is an option that we can construct in attractive architecture closer to already urban areas, we shouldn't spoil our outdoors.

Feinstein doesn’t want the California desert sprinled with solar panels. Kennedy doesn’t want the ocean off his Cape Cod estate littered with windmills. And they don’t want nuclear power anywhere. Harry Reid won’t let the nuclear waste storage isolated in the safest part of the Nevada desert at Yucca Mountain. The Beltway liberals don’t want new powerlines across their horse country estates in Virginia.

What am I missing about this need for “renewable energy” and carbon-free production that all these idiots say we must have?

They are planning a two solar plants near where I live. One is a couple hundred megawatt, producing steam, and takes up a square mile. the other is photovoltaic, planned to produce 500 megawatts, and expected to take up something like 9000 acres. Thats right, you read it right.

Solar as a supplement on rooftops has its place. As a serious source of electricity, though, it is a bust. It is a fool’s game. It is an enormous waste of land.

The most efficient source of power in terms of land and effort has still got to nuclear. Natural gas is right up there with it. They are both very clean. They produce, in the case of nuclear power, no emissions whatever, and in the case of natural gas, very little. Compared to the square miles of land spoiled by wind and solar they are far far less environmentally obtrusive.

Environmentalists are searching for magic power. We already have several good and efficient sources available to us, and in enormous quantities. You can’t let people who believe in magic dictate your policies and actions.

Plans and taxpayer monies have been put forth for a 300 acre solar array on the outskirts of Austin, TX. ($250 million over 10 yrs)

Someone came up with a brilliant idea.

Put the arrays on top of strip centers, malls, warehouse, plants and bigbox stores and let them use the electricity.

They want us all living in un-heated, un-lighted tin-shack slums. Except for themselves, of course.

Hey DIFI how about those ugly and new bigger and really ugly windmills you allowed to be built in Solano and Contra Costa farm and ranch land?

Besides being ugly and noisy, these windmills slaughter beautiful wild birds 24/7 including eagles, falcons and other winged critters on the endangered species list.

The ultimate in hypocracy!!

Typical progressive attitude...I want a mansion with “undocumented” servants and Kobe beef dinners (shhh, don’t tell my PETA friends) and the finest caviar and champagne...

YOU put the solar panels on your roof and yard so I can show how good of a steward of the earth I am....

I am trying to chip away at my liberal friends to point out this but they just keep on coming up with excuses..it’s very sad...
