Geee Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 TownHall:...Really? Really? Does reality not even faze these people? Are President Obama's robust ideologies actually unassailable?The Obama administration on Thursday identified 17 sites in six Western states as prime candidates for solar energy projects on public lands, continuing a push for solar power despite the high-profile bankruptcy of a solar panel maker that received a half-billion dollar federal loan.Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the latest "Solar Energy Zones" refine and improve on a draft released in December that identified two dozen areas in California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.Five sites in Nevada, four in Colorado, three in Utah, two each in California and Arizona, and one in New Mexico were identified as ideal for solar development.Astounding. The President and his team of green, leftist, big-government zealots learned absolutely nothing from the Solyndra debacle, and they're not even a little bit ashamed of it. They are going to unabashedly continue to distribute other people's money where they see fit and create the new green society of the future even if they have to tank the entire economy to do it.If solar energy is really the way of the future, why does the government need to subsidize it? Why did Solyndra fail spectacularly, even with federal help? Why is the government manipulating money and innovation toward the solar industry, instead of unleashing it so we can progress toward new alternative technologies that could actually be worthwhile? Does anybody else feel like they're taking crazy pills?But it gets more outrageous.The Bureau of Land Management has done "a commendable job permitting solar power projects over the last two years," he [Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association] said. "We look forward to engaging with BLM and other stakeholders in this process to continue that momentum and ensure the industry's perspective is heard." ...Salazar and other officials said the plan aims to reduce conflicts and delays in approving solar projects, by identifying areas that have been "pre-screened" to show they are near transmission sites and have few if any environmental conflicts. ...None of the seven sites had attracted significant interest from investors and either had looming environmental conflicts or were far away from transmission lines, Hayes said, adding that he is confident the remaining 17 projects will be attractive to utilities and other developers.

Pepper Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 RandyM! Geee! The destruction caused by the self proclaimed Greens is not unintentional. It is all about control. Look at articles documenting the bats and birds killed by wind turbines. Now square miles of desert will be off limits and turned into mirrors. Nice living under those things. or this vs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
