31. Thank you.

Even as Nevada (with the blessings of the Biden admin) prepares to pave over thousands upon thousands of acres of previously undisturbed land with solar and all the accompanying roads, cables, powerlines, etc. One of the projects "necessitated" transplanting all of the desert tortoises they could find (and they did not find all of them), which were promptly killed by predators in the new location. Because we can't be bothered with rooftop solar, apparently. We just have to f**k up new country. Of course, everyone knows, there's "nothing out there" . So someone please win me over, why is this "green?" How is the carbon footprint actually reduced by doing this? To me, nuclear generated energy is becoming a no-brainer.

Right now, there is an uncontrolled giant wildfire north of here (Bootleg) that "threatens" one of the main tranmission power conduits that goes from the Columbia River to southern California. I haven't checked the status of that yet today, but if that line goes, a lot of power goes right in the middle of the 2nd record heat bubble of the summer, the severity of which is probably due to climate change.

So thanks, nnadir, for being stubborn with your arguments for all these years.
