Two weeks behind the rest of the media, Fox News has suddenly taken an interest in – solar power? “On a strip of California’s Mojave Desert, two dozen rare tortoises could stand in the way of a sprawling solar-energy complex in a case that highlights mounting tensions between wilderness conservation and the nation’s quest for cleaner power.”
At least they got the most salient point – “The construction would come with a cost: Government scientists have concluded that more than 6 square miles of habitat for the federally threatened desert tortoise would be permanently lost.”
Before it’s over, the American Southwest is liable to resemble a scene out of Blade Runner. Or more likely, Road Warrior.
