Envirokooks Kill Solar Plant in Desert Wasteland
Will Democrats permit any form of power production anywhere? Evidently not:
Oakland's BrightSource Energy Inc. said this week that it has scrapped a controversial plan to build a major solar thermal power plant in eastern Mojave Desert wilderness that Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein wants to transform into a national monument.
The announcement ended a long-running dispute between backers of renewable energy and environmentalists strongly opposed to the idea of creating an industrial zone within 600,000 acres of former railroad lands that had been donated to the Department of Interior for conservation.
Environazis were concerned that building a solar plant in the desert would be offensive to plants and reptiles.
Again we see that what the extremely powerful environmental left objects to is not coal or oil or nuclear power per se, but any generation of any energy anywhere. In short, it objects to human civilization.
Hat tip: Interested-Participant. On a tip from BURNING HOT.

Build the thing by plowing under Nancy Pelousy's vineyard. After all she is an econut so why not sacrifice her land for the greater good of the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia? Im sure RINO Arnold wont mind.

"...but any generation of any energy anywhere. In short, it objects to human civilization."

Did BO lie again?
Didnt he just say, with a straight face that green technology and jobs recovery go hand in hand?
Either a lie or he is as big a dullard as many of us suspect.

Fucking crazy people. Lizards versus power?
I saw we use soy as a fuel source. If they din't have tofu to eat, they will die off and we can get back to work creating jobs and energy.
Who is ready to play VC angel for the tofu-based power plant?

It may have been scuttled by the Luddites, but at least at lot of water was saved. A LOT of water, to be ripped from places where ther actually is some. Of course, it would kill a lot of farms, regulations would be needed to prohibit more than weekly bathtub use... Gotta clean those things, after all.
