| You can be almost certain that the media will downplay/ignore any bad news related to alternative energy projects, whether it’s off-shore windmills contributing to the deaths of whales, solar panel projects threatening fragile habitats or species, or green energy shutting down during freezes and last year’s polar vortex.
The latest example of green energy going haywire comes from Scottsbluff, Nebraska where a project involving 14,000 solar panels has been destroyed by a single hailstorm. The project had a life expectancy of 25 years. It was demolished less than four years after construction. “Now residents will surely have to rely on good old, reliable fossil fuel power to keep the electricity flowing,” reports the wattsupwiththat.com website. “And how long will it take to clean up the toxic mess left behind?”
