Quehebo -

Of course, there are already solar thermal plants operating in the Mojave, and PG&E has signed contracts for up to 900MW of additional solar power plants there. The new plants will most likely be online by 2011.

I don't think you could build coal or solar plants faster than that.

You may think it's stupid to consider the environmental impact of building any type of power plant. I think it's only prudent.

Arnold went out of his way to say that environmentalists are the strongest opponents to green energy.

Arnold mentioned that in some cases, environmentalists had opposed green energy projects for other environmental reasons.

Only in your construction was "strongest opponents" said or implied. But that's how it goes, I suppose.
