But the reality is that these huge solar developments totally disrupt wildlife in the region, effectively, forever. Post something to support your statements...just a little something...i googled the subject and can't find hardly anything...when I google strip mining on the other hand?! FAR MORE DISRUPTION THAN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE GULF SPILL, which has had NO NOTICEABLE EFFECT other than that created by the incompetent Obama administration. LOL...you will say just about anything no matter how stupid, as long as it's a chance to attack obama...the contradiction in your proclamations are amazing...so the spill did no harm except for what the obama administration might have done to mitigate it, whatever that might be...you sound really stupid pal. Well, I haven't talked with anyone who is complaining and I would wager I'm more in touch with the situation than you are. I told you...we have strip mining around here and I can assure you that mining companies are not popular among the locals. There are HUGE downsides to solar energy that aren't even mentioned -- probably out of ignorance, I recognize -- but this is the liberal way. See, the problem is that you can make these wildly bombastic statements but you can't support them...and who are you to say that we are ignorant? You don't even understand the state of the technology, the cost equation, the geographical dependencies, the ROI...yours is just redneck talk...you are the one who is really ignorant...you base all your comments on your hatred for anything remotely enlightened...c'mon, you praise strip mining and condemn solar on the BASIS OF ECOLOGICAL EFFECT...need I say more?
