Slowly, but with intent, the people lose their rights! Farmland will be the target for large solar installation. This is because Maryland hates farmland.
Janet Christensen@pucksglen12 Apr 2023
Maryland joins the pack to eliminate the ability of counties to governor their own land use. HB0692 allows the Maryland PSC to mandate LUO's of the county to accept the State decision on Solar. What a pity. @pwrhungry @LinowesLisa @MeredithAngwin @megynkelly @ShellenbergerMD

"78 percent of today’s young farmers didn’t grow up in farming. “[They] struggle to break into this grower network”

Just what we should be doing..locking the next generation of farmers out! civileats.com/2023/04/12/the…

The Rush for Solar Farms Could Make It Harder for Young Farmers to Access Land

With farmers being offered big bucks to turn ag into energy, will the next generation of farmers face another hurdle and be priced out?

Kill eagles & whales, destroy desert habitats & endangered species, clear cut trees, blanket prime agricultural land and NOW pillage the ocean with deep sea mining. Sacrificing the earth to save it! @linoweslisa @pwrhungry @basinrange @shellenbergerMD nytimes.com/2023/03/15/opini…

Opinion | A Rush to Mine the Deep Sea Is Underway. It Must Be Stopped. (Published 2023)

A scramble to mine the deep sea could soon commence. And once it begins, there will be little hope of reining it in.

Norway’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Sami in October 2021. The wind turbines are still operating nearly a year and a half later. @LinowesLisa @pwrhungry @ShellenbergerMD thefederalist.com/2023/03/09…

Greta Thunberg Is Right — Wind Turbines Are The Absolute Worst

This time, Thunberg is on to something. When environmental policy becomes anti-human and anti-nature, we should resist it.

Glad to see Bloomberg picked up this important story. Critically endangered right whales are going to be killed by offshore wind and BOEM is hiding the facts. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @WECProtect @windaction

Endangered Whales at Risk From Offshore Wind, US Scientist Warns

Planned wind projects off the New England coast threaten to harm the region’s dwindling population of endangered right whales, according to a US government marine scientist.

The greater the overall share of renewables in the energy mix, the more customers will have to spend on these largely redundant backups.🫢 Have I heard this somewhere before?????? @LinowesLisa @pwrhungry ft.com/content/91d341f8-b945…

Renewables: the more you have, the more you pay for backups

Intermittent supply from a variety of power generation adds to the challenge of balancing the grid

This is such typical NPR🐂💩. "Big Solar is spreading misinformation to obliterate farmland and deserts in rural America" sounds more accurate. Right? @LinowesLisa @pwrhungry npr.org/2023/02/18/115486706…

If @DinahVP were interested in the truth, she would have contacted groups raising concerns about whale deaths. Instead she presents her preferred 'truth' and attacks everything else. No wonder modern media is distrusted. @SaveNARW @WECProtect
Dinah Voyles Pulver@DinahVP18 Feb 2023
Since dead whale stories are trending again, here's a chart of whale deaths since 2007. And two recent stories detailing the whale deaths, although not the one yet reported Friday usatoday.com/story/news/nati… usatoday.com/story/news/nati…

Those who accuse are usually the ones on the take. This offensive piece is nothing but lies. OSW and its boosters know they have a whale problem & are working to deflect and dismiss. The whales need help not this! @SaveNARW @WECProtect @windaction capecodtimes.com/story/news/…

Whale deaths exploited in 'cynical disinformation' push against wind power, advocates say

A dozen New Jersey mayors have said offshore wind turbines could be the cause of whale strandings. Experts say that's essentially "disinformation."
