I have many friends in WV and I've seen the effect of "topping" mountains.
I would also add, I'm not in support of ignoring research of cleaner alternatives.

I'm all for researching cleaner alternatives, but I hope they stop dumping billions into clean energy companies that instantly go bankrupt.

Pretty much all the clean energy movements it seemed were either instantly bankrupt... or overpriced while underproducing, while still being ecological hazards.

Quote:Solyndra, the solar panel manufacturer who took more than $500 million from President Obama’s stimulus then went bust, sticking taxpayers for the loss, lied to federal officials to secure the loan, the Energy Department’s inspector general said in a report released Wednesday.


But the Obama administration goofed too, and may have cut corners in fully vetting the project because of “political pressure” from top Democrats and Solyndra itself, the investigators said in their report, which took four years to complete.

(And that case is nowhere near a rarity.)


Saw some article recently about an experiment using a ton of film projector lights to simulate the sun, so they could try to make more efficient panel placement. The problem was.. the experiment in 4 hours of use, used the same amount of energy as a household of 4 did in an entire year. So they use obscene amounts of non-renewable energy to try to make renewable energy more efficient. Lol
