Environmentalists in a pickle
So OK, environmentalists don't like fossil fuels, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind (the birds you know), so you'd figure they'd cotton right up to solar. I wonder how this noble attempt by California to provide solar power will shake out? http://www.ecoenquirer.com/red-cheeked-squirrel.htm |

UPDATE: There are now unconfirmed reports that one of the environmentalists attending a "Save the Squirrels" demonstration accidently drove over the squirrel nest in question, killing the entire family of squirrels. Local police have reportedly treated the case as an accident, and have not filed any charges against the woman, who is now under suicide watch at a local hospital.

I guess that settles that one

Re: Environmentalists in a pickle
I thought that wind turbines killing birds was an urban myth made by people who didn't want to have to look at wind turbines.
"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

Re: Environmentalists in a pickle
I'm not sure what their true reasonings are.

was only 6 months away from completion when the nest of squirrels, which are on the endangered species list, was found

or planted? i'm just sayin.
their intentions are noble, but they go way overboard too often. i dont imagine anyone would feel great about running over a nest of squirrels, but being on suicide watch is a bit extreme. for her sake, i hope the suicide watch is much more than she needs.

And then when I feel so stuffed I can't eat anymore, I just use the restroom! And then I CAN eat more!

However, as someone who has witnessed a couple PETA types debate whether they should or shouldn't eat honey; I've see just how close to real it is. The honey eater was almost on suicide watch herself after being verbally bludgeoned for exploiting the "poor proletariat bees". |
