He was already confronted with just such a power plant or 7 in CA and he still insisted furiously that they need water and kill sacred endangered turtles.
mdn is looney.
Looney, not much of an insult coming from a "Headline driven" fanatic.
Water is still the issue, if you look beyond headlines, look at the Environment Impact study.

Anyone with half a brain knows all Solar projects require water, given that they are building Solar on public land in the desert with scarce water, water is a huge factor.
Too bad people are hypocrites, ignorant hypocrites, for Solar Power farms consume massive amounts of natural resources during manufacturing of the panels, millions of tons of CO2 are released into the environment.
Use more raw materials at a faster rate to make Solar Power plants which produce less energy from a larger amount of raw material,
Solar, more in, less out.
Another Corporate/Government robbery, take from the public, give to the rich
Silly ass. Photovoltaic, thermal solar, even Stirling engines. None of these use water in the process of producing electricity.
Where is your link, of course they all use water, nothing is made without water. Everything at the very least needs to be cleaned, of course in addition to cleaning solar must be cooled, even the "dry" technologies use water, its just that they are not as wet as "wet" solar.
Too bad they dont work, not commercially, seems a waste of natural resources, its like building a giant bus that is never used or is never full.
Solar cannot even predict when they will be able to provide energy, that is why solar must have a 100% fossil fuel backup. Imagine, the energy company makes a profit on Solar and Fossil energy plants, they even get to sell the fossil energy at the cost of the more expensive solar energy. No wonder Chevron and Edison are backing solar energy. They double the profit and dont have to worry about the money to do it, we give it to them.
