100 Million Acres of Sun-Catchers?

If you haven't viewed the spectacular scenery in the Southwest, do it soon.  Otherwise, you'll see nothing except sun-catchers.

...In December 2022, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced that her department would expedite plans to build solar energy farms on up to 100 million acres of untouched public land in five Western states, in a bid to "tackle climate change." The announcement has garnered little to no national attention, save for the occasional report that the Biden administration is expanding renewable energy production....

Didn't hear about that, didja?  Huh?  DIDJA???

But when Trump wanted to expand energy production.....hooboy, that's TEOTWAWKI!!

 ...National outlets took a far more critical approach to Trump-era land use proposals. "Where Will Trump’s War on Public Lands End?" the New Yorker wondered in 2017. The following year, a New York Times headline lamented that a "Trump Drilling Plan Threatens 9 Million Acres of Sage Grouse Habitat." The coverage gap indicates a media bias, not just against Trump, but also for green energy....

Sun-catchers aren't good for sage grouse, are they?

And they're not much good for anything else, except the Red Chinese oligarchs who manufacture them, laughing all the way to the bank as they burn coal to power their factories.

That civil war, she's a-brewin'...........
