Beerball Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation in Congress on Monday to protect a million acres of the Mojave Desert in California by scuttling some 13 big solar plants and wind farms planned for the region. Sure, give me cheap renewable energy but don't mess with my desert view. Oh...coal? nope bad Nuclear? nope bad Wind? not if I can see/hear the turbines Solar? not if those ugly collectors mar my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation in Congress on Monday to protect a million acres of the Mojave Desert in California by scuttling some 13 big solar plants and wind farms planned for the region.

Oh...coal? nope bad Nuclear? nope bad Wind? not if I can see/hear the turbines Solar? not if those ugly collectors mar my view Never quite understood these arguments. We have power lines criss crossing the country and huge water tanks all over the place and now people are going to start complaining about wind turbines messing up the view?
