I’m one of those fool exiles which lives in the Phoenix metro area — and we counter with one of the world’s biggest (if not the biggest) NUCLEAR plants in OUR backyard.
Anyone who’s just driven through this blasted desert wasteland knows there’s a lot more opportunity for Ol’ Sol to make juice here than just about anywhere else on Earth.
Yet, our local power authorities, in their infinite wisdom, have only put up a few odd “boutique” solar projects; interminably testing for “feasibility”.
Does anybody out there see a problem with this?
It reminds one of the domestic industry which has grown up around “finding a cure” for cancer, whilst ignoring (and continually adding to) the flood of carcinogens which comprise “meat and drink” for us on a daily basis…
Food for thought —
