Pearl Harbor solar array has opposition

[pahoated]

It's not just this example. There is a growing anti-solar power movement developing as well. Sierra Club and Green Peace started out as environmental advocates but they have devolved into just being obstructionist, appearing more and more like neoluddites. Interesting thing about this developing group of people, they are generally against everything except more children. This planet passed 7 billion a year ago and will be 9 billion in a few years. There are 1.4 billion Chinese that had virtually zero cars 20 years ago. Now, there are hundreds of millions of cars, making China the single largest car market on the planet. As more people start raising themselves into middle class, from abject poverty, they will believe in conservation but the reality is they will use more and more of everything, energy, minerals, vegetation, fresh water, and so on. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Interesting how these neo-NIMBY's are more and more senior citizens. This is one example, snow birds traveling to Arizona with their $100,000 RV's, getting less than 10 miles per gallon, clogging highways and they don't want solar panels in the desert, destroying the environment. The hypocrisy is laughable.
