Yes I know some engineers that work for Bechtel, took them years to build it, but it was successful. Need to build more, as clean as wind, smaller footprint, makes way more power 2230 megawatts, would take 2000 wind turbines to make that much, , less maintenance, and they don't kill birds of prey. Eddie you should convince more of your brethren to support this. Randy Wells Last edited by Randy Wells; 12-01-2023 at 11:15 PM. |

In the late 1980s and early 90s, the Marines shipped all of their tactical nukes to Pantex under the SALT agreement. The weapons were disassembled and the active material was returned to the Dept of Energy. So it is not for lack of material to build these safe plants. |

The solar farms do too. Birds get zapped out of the sky over them.

Solar panels do not kill birds outright. However, birds are attracted to the shininess of solar panels, which often look like moving water when flying above. Some birds mistake panels for bodies of water and try to dive into the “water,” which hurts or kills them. |

Starting about 15 years ago California mandated that all new homes are required to be sold with solar panels.

Our house was built in 1978. In Ohio. It was mandated to be built total electric. Our total sub division is electric.That was in just the opposite of times, as we had just came from the 73 oil embargos. 15 years ago they finally ran gas lines out here. 2 of my neighbors switched. We are thinking about putting in some type of solar panels to heat the swimming pool so we can get rid of the heat pump out there. Funny how we swing back and forth.
