Remember the snail darter, spotted owl, or desert tortoises? They were all in the center of a clash between big business (bad) and God's creatures as represented by environmentalists (good).
Loggers, electricity producers and developers are all cited as threats to endangered species. Go on the internet and you will find hundreds of stories and articles about these controversies. Projects have been stopped or delayed for years.
Yet, when large solar arrays are causing the destruction of other species such as the bald eagle, where are the environmentalists? I picture them rendered mute by the war inside their head. Solar or eagles? But they are both good. No bad guys here. What do we do?
It seems they have sided with the solar folks, who, by the way, represent big business. Isn't it interesting how differently the greenies react when their pet projects are at stake. Check out Ivanpah on the web.
