Hmm. Do they hire people to scrape snow off solar panels?

Just thinking that communities are more receptive to projects if local jobs are created.

In Michigan, where companies were allowed to discharge PFAS compounds into the waterways. Where the paper manufacturer would spray effluent into the back woods, so that it could filter cleanly into the well water system.

Surprisingly, MI has (or at least had), oil wells on private land. You don't associate MI with oil, but apparently there is some.

If it's in the fish it's in the soil, it's everywhere!

Nothing to see here...

WTF!
"Critics claim large solar farms are a public health threat."

Wifi is good for you too, it doesn't make people weird as those affected have been defying laws of the land, lying out their asses, creating an alternative reality they thought of for years to overthrow the world.

Oil "should be" subsidized so it can f up the climate more costing us less.

Love the smell of mercury in the morning, looming in the air from the coal power plant... and in all our "organic" food.

"Any detectable tonal noise, he added, must be considered an unreasonable threat to public health. He recommended new regulations."

Well there go outdoor concert venues.
