Freeze On US Solar Plant Applications Lifted
necro81 writes "Barely a month ago, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced a freeze on applications for solar power plants on federally managed land, pending a two-year comprehensive environmental review. After much hue and cry from the public, industry, and other parts of government, BLM has today announced that it will lift the freeze, but continue to study the possible environmental effects. To date, no solar project has yet been approved on BLM land."

I'm not sure if you're aware, but hippie chicks are a pain in the ass. They don't shave their body hair, they're overly concerned with what direction they're facing when making out so they can "harness the natural energy of Gaia", and they think all technology pollutes their auras.
What you want is to score with a hot female electrical engineer, because there's usually a hellion lurking beneath the rose-rimmed glasses and the tight labcoat.
I can't believe you left out the biggest problem of all: what to do with all that solar waste.
I know I sure as heck don't want a bunch of depleted sunlight in my backyard!
What if I do the same thing, and I do get different results?
The hot female EE you speak of is a mythical creature, like bigfoot, or a unicorn.
Oh, they exist, I've seen them with my own eyes. They've just been hunted to the edge of extinction.
One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".
