Will the MADNESS Ever Stop?! 🤬

[wayoflife]

Imagine for a minute, a wide open expanse of desert filled with rainbow colored mountains, canyons that look straight out of a prehistoric movie set and so beautiful, it was once considered to become a state park. Now, imagine for a minute, what all that would look like with 62,000 acers of solar panels, blanketing the entire area and all in the name of "saving the planet". To put that mind boggling size into perspective, that's roughly the size of Las Vegas and in a Nevada county that only has about 700 people living in it. Of course, thanks to the Biden administration and their hard push for renewable energy, that's about to happen and I'm gonna tell you, it's a tragedy.

Vegas-sized solar project could come to Nevada's smallest county; residents not thrilled - The Nevada Independent

Solar developers are seeking to construct a series of projects in Esmeralda County that, if built, would have a footprint nearly the size of Las Vegas.

I honestly have no idea how it can be done but this madness really needs to stop!

So sad. It's ridiculous that anyone would be OK with this.

Pipe dream for sure. Seeing these pop up like mushrooms. Government dollars supporting this more than any significant benefit I'd bet.

If you've ever seen what solar fields in the desert look like during and after construction, everything underneath them is literally destroyed. As in, scorched earth. How anyone can even think about doing this in an area of pristine desert and on the scale of a major city with almost 3 million people living in it, is simply unimaginable. Worse, to do all this for a technology that only lasts for about 20 years is criminal!!

If "saving the environment" is such an existential threat, the people in charge should start saving it in their own backyards!

And there in lies the real problem. All this land is BLM as in, federally owned and so the power companies not only get it for dirt cheap, they get subsidized to destroy it. All this shit is just so infuriating.

 

[Disciple Off Road]

So freakin frustrating. The land will never be the same after that. Really hope this doesn’t happen.

Here's what progress looks like, already an eye sore on a grand scale.

 

[TrailHunter]

Assholes.

 

[Spazbyt]

Well, at least they will have access to large amounts of fresh water to clean the solar panels after every dust storm.

As I always like to say, "hope" is just another way of saying, "wishful thinking".

When the feds are pushing for this shit, it's their land to give away and they're subsidizing the work, how do you stop any of this nonsense from happening.

Just like out in Boulder City. The desert is getting completely transformed into this shit

Sad truth is, there is actually a lot of water out there but all the lithium mines need it. Oh, and screw the endangered prehistoric fish that live in it.

The sucks. Tonopah and surrounding areas are one of the most beautiful in the country in my opinion.

Why not put all these panels on every single commercial building out there. Give incentives to owners. Such bullshit.

 

[wayoflife]

BTW, did I mention that Cindy and I love this area? Here are some shots from the area they're going to destroy.

Looking at the map, they're literally going to cover these two very points with solar panels.

Couldn't agree more. Apparently, nobody else does though.

Because it would be in their backyard. They would have to see it. Of course, the electric companies would have to pay businesses to put them up there and why do that when you can get pristine land for free and have the government pay you even more to destroy it!

IDK which is worse - the solar panels or the totally out of place golf course.

 

[semicolon]

I can't imaging these panels surviving 20 years of getting cooked in the dessert before they fall into a state of disrepair. At that point these sites will likely be abandoned and only serve as a constant reminder of foolish government spending.

If you can believe it, the golf course is in California.

Just shitty, No end to what agendas will destroy for profits
