Eco-wackos on parade: Now they’re suing to stop a solar plant

But … but … but how can this be? We thought solar was the fuel of the future, the salvation of mankind, the inexhaustible green gift that keeps on giving.

Reuters has the tale of the confused conservationists:

Yes, it's confusing, but the eco-extremists won't even approve sources of power they approve of

A U.S. conversation (sic) group has sued the federal government over its approval of a major solar power plant in the California desert, the latest in a string of challenges to the nation’s renewable energy goals from the environmental community.

According to court papers, the non-profit Western Watersheds Project alleged U.S. regulators approved Brightsource Energy’s 370-megawatt Ivanpah solar energy plant without conducting adequate environmental reviews, and asked the court to order the defendants to withdraw their approvals.

Let’s see now. We can’t use coal because it’s dirty. We can’t use hydroelectric because it destroys natural waterways. We can’t use oil because it causes global warming. We can’t use wind because it kills birds and bats and destroys the view from the Kennedy’s Hyannisport estate. And now we can’t use solar because … well … we’re not quite sure why we can’t use solar.

Luckily, we saw this coming at IHateTheMedia.com and took steps to solve the problem of increasingly restricted fuel supplies. Our entire operation is powered with the high grade Japanese whale oil. Smells like hell, but it puts out a lovely warm glow that both heats and lights.
