Take your solar power and stick it where the sun don't shine

Comments on "Desert Vistas vs. Solar Power" NY Times December 22, 2009.

The environmentalists have been pushing solar energy as the pollution free energy source. But wait...we can't put it where the sun shines!

I understand how competing uses for the desert can create a debate...but this isn't a debate. This is the Queen of California terrorizing her constituents who wouldn't speak publicly for fear of antagonizing a powerful politician.

Have we moved from a democracy to an aristocracy? If they did antagonize Senator Feinstein, what would she do? Shoot bolts of retribution to those that disagree with her?

As soon as citizen are afraid to speak up for fear of antagonizing a powerful politician we have lost a critical element in our country.

The whim of the Queen of California...first we demand the utilities develop renewable energy, then the Queen stops the solar projects.

This isn't about the environment. This is about the "whim of royalty."

in reference to:

"Union officials, power industry executives, regulators and some environmentalists have also expressed concern about the impact of the monument legislation, but few would speak publicly for fear of antagonizing one of California’s most powerful politicians."
