Past slavery=bad (which it was)
Current slavery=good, as long as it is green

The only thing possibly worse than mining, is a Utah company doing the mining, Charles!"Not in my backyard" will be the silent commentary from our "conservation", public land solar/wind turbine preaching, electric vehicle HT vocal winners as they protest mining in Montana.
The EV mining rush could come to Montana’s mountains - High Country News
A company announced it found the country’s highest-grade rare earth deposit in Montana.www.hcn.org
"The glaring irony there in all this is, we all love our green technologies and we want to reduce pollution and carbon footprints, etc.,” said Jeff Williams, CEO of U.S. Critical Materials. “But the materials required to make that happen have to come out of the ground."
Rather, out of sight, out of mind works... Child labor in foreign countries feels better when pressing the green energy pedal to the metal.
Saw this yesterday. They kept it fairly quiet for 20 years apparently. Must be getting ready to make a move. mtmuley
All on board the green train.
Ah yes, the HT cataloged, Axis of Evil, Utah. Still, required to "comply" with Fed regulations, as any mining company. If concern for a company, who's ultimately at fault for *questionable enforcement? Voters.

Go green or go home. Will Farrell reminds me of those green inspired conservationists demanding government to make it happen, just not in their backyard.
Question ..... How do they control weed and brush growth in those massive solar fields so stuff doesn't grow up and shade the panels?
If chemicals are the answer, this is about as "un green" as it gets. Creating a chemical hotspot in the name of clean energy.

Sheep.
Company I work for partners with the local land grant university’s ruminant program and allows sheep to graze on our 25 acre solar farm. For the record, though, I’m not a big fan of solar farms.

We have the Britton Solar project in Moriarty, NM. 520ac of solar panels as part of the Facebook agreement with PNM electric to offset power usage through renewable generation investment.
I’ve heard from ornery locals that the solar layout is a waste of space where it could have been used for farming or grazing. The reality here is that farming requires intense irrigation which was not present on that parcel. And grazing is like 10 cattle per section here. This project brought bonds to the City, bonds to the County along with direct payments (in lieu of property tax) to both. All of this came out of corporate interest with little regard to environmental impact. Solar prints money for everybody where the sun shines!

It’s nice to hear they don’t care about the feelings of people who will be affected by their installation.

Piatt County referendum indicates 70% of voters don't want wind farms; Apex calls results 'meaningless'
"It is a bad indicator of support when such a small percentage of voters care enough to come to the polls — less than 20 percent of voters participated," said

More work for me, but I don’t want one of those things in my backyard.
During the day I could almost deal with it, but the sea of red lights floating in the night sky is a $*)Q!#@$ sin.
Kinda makes it hard to lay out in the backyard and enjoy the stars.
How about you just don’t fly planes below 200ft at night
China just stopped exporting two minerals the world’s chipmakers need
China’s exports of two rare minerals essential for manufacturing semiconductors fell to zero in August, a month after Beijing imposed curbs on sales overseas, citing national security.

Here in eastern Iowa, Next Era is utilizing an existing grid system from a decommissioned nuke plant and is building a solar field utilizing high CSR farm ground!! They scammed the land owners to lease their grounds for minimum $900/year on a 25 year lease. This project is located in our Green Belt river area.1000's of acres are affected and they have plans for many more! Our county officials who ok'd this project have been pressured to revise the requirements of land use of these "green" projects but the damage has been done with this project. I live in this area and all we hear now is trackhoes, heavy equipment, post driving, and dump trucks hauling on our small gravel roads. All this to save the world!! BS! Its designed to line the pockets of our gov. officials using our tax money!! grrrrr

They remove the topsoil first b4 the major part of the project proceeds. We have large mounds of topsoil piled next to the fields they are utilizing for panels. Good luck on reclaiming that in 25years, Mom nature will have it removed b4 then.
