Solar project to destroy thousands of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert

It’s crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.

    This is just horrible. Destroying environments for Silicon Valley to waste more electricity for AI is just bonkers to me. Joshua Trees are such an iconic plant that won’t expand means that there will just be a lot of extra dust lowering the solar energy output.

    Plus, I really despite bis businesses that promise to protect the environment in other places if you allow them to destroy the environment. It’s still considered a net loss, but increasing wealth to equity firms is all that matters.

      I just used the Crosspost feature in Voyager. Does this mean the client could do a better job of formatting the post?

        No, the bot is complaining about the post body of the cross posted post. Nothing you or the app could fix. I recommend blocking the bot if you find the bot annoying.
