Yes, let’s bleach all of the coral reefs in the world with fossil fuels because Fox News said that solar farms kill a few tortoises.   

Um I think ecowatch is about as far from Fox News as one can get lol 

maybe you should lay off stealing your kids Ritalin for a bit.

You used ONE SOLAR PROJECT that’s not in an idea location as a reason to lambast solar as a concept.  You are not a critical thinker.  At all.

Part of the reason I’m not gung ho on solar is because of the ecological damage in desert ecosystems it creates owing to the large scale of land needed for solar farms. This is a prime example:

yeah let’s kill thousands of endangered plants and habitats for endangered animals so rich pricks in LA can feel good about using solar power. 

I have solar panels on my roof.  Not a single plant died.  Texas is catching up fast to Cali in solar generation.  If a few armadillos and some tumbleweed are eliminated in the process, so be it.

Yeah because ecological destruction of fragile desert habitats doesn’t occur as part of the development of any other solar farm development in the southwest. 

 I oppose drilling for oil in the ANWR for similar reasons.

There’s a difference between having a couple panels on the roof of a house and a huge swath of them spread out across a fragile ecosystem. 
 

also armadillos and tumbleweeds aren’t critically endangered like Joshua Trees or tortoises or other species. 
 

not sure of your point.

Of course not, you’re stupid.

There are some huge solar fields here around Vegas.

Yeah and according to Orange none of that has caused habitat destruction or the like at all for desert dwellers.

Oh wow great zinger. 
 

speaking of stupid how’s your wife doing? lol. Pinch her limpy ass when you see her after you get home from being chief chili fry maker. She likes that. Tell her thanks from me too - after all that dumb bitch licked out my asshole.

You truly need to be banned.

You need to get off your knees bc I know when I’ve been licked. 
 

What’s it like being married to a big smelly ass farm llama?

Well get back to it then. Or send Sparkles or Trinket or whatever you’re calling your wife/farm llama these days. 
 

she really likes it when you put sugar cubes in your hand and let her lick them away.

You're not wrong about large solar farms in sensitive desert habitat creating heat. Black objects of any type absorb and create heat. Here's some older and newer articles and the pros and cons regarding large desert solar farms.

The folks in the Vegas area who continue to support and defend the continuation of mass sprawl and the building of huge hotels, resorts, stadiums and other large projects because of their water conservation efforts is mind-boggling. Vegas is America's hottest city for a reason. It's a concrete and asphalt jungle. Ambient air temperatures are taken only a certain amount of feet off the ground and in the shade. If ground temperatures rise, so will temperature readings that can be 5 to 10 or more degrees higher than the surrounding areas.

If we’re serious about clean energy the only realistic solution is nuclear energy.  The technology has advanced so far since they first built them thing like Chernobyl (which really was a result of Soviet incompetence) aren’t really an issue anymore.  Is there a risk?  Yes but it’s very small. Do you want to destroy hundreds of thousands of acres of land for solar panels?  Probably not.  Nuclear is the future.  You get the most electricity per acre from a nuclear plant.  We need to build thorium reactors all over the country.  They are essentially meltdown proof.

If the French can produce 70% of their power from nuclear energy then why can’t we?

 

Edit:  And the US Navy currently operates 99 nuclear reactors.  Historically they have operated 526 nuclear reactors.  They have operated nuclear reactors for the equivalent of 6,200 years without a single accident.

There's an underground research nuclear reactor near where I work and I don't worry about it at all.

You don’t have to.  We have millions of buildings throughout the U.S. that can be subsidized to put solar panels on their roofs.  We can make it illegal for HOAs to prevent solar panels.  All it takes is will. 
 

Nuclear will take decades.  
 

also, lol @ 6200 years without accidents. You guys are truly being paid by big nuke to simp this hard for them   
 

We already destroy millions of acres with pure development.  Now suddenly it’s a problem because people want solar panels?   Do fuck off with that disingenuous shit

30 states already have laws on the books that state an HOA can’t do shit about solar panels. And solar is not a great option for every state. Like Alaska. Or most Northern states.  I’m not against solar. I think solar is a great option where available.  I have solar on my house. But long term solar isn’t the solution. It can be a supplement but nuclear is really the only logical choice long term.

I must’ve missed my check from big nuke (which isn’t really a thing.  The solar lobby is far more powerful than anything in nuclear energy).

Name 1 accident a US Naval vessel has had with its reactor.  Just 1.  And running into another ship or similar doesn’t count. Name a single reactor failure, meltdown, etc the US navy has had on one of their ships.
