Texas Hail Storm Takes Out Solar Farm, Proving What We’ve Already Known
Unreliables are just that, a scam, a subsidy farce, only good to take the hard earned money of the masses and channel it to the elitists,the Elitist Global World View at work , to benefit themselves.

Texas Hail Storm Proves Solar Is Not a Reliable Energy Source
Unusual weather has been plaguing Texas off and on for the last few years, and now thousands of solar panels on a South Bend County farm have been destroyed. Caught in a freakishly strong hail storm, the solar panels and other infrastructure in the area suffered massive damage.
Nick Kaminski, a Fort Bend County resident, spoke with ABC 13 about the storm. “The hailstorm we experienced Saturday morning was unimaginable. We’ve never seen anything like it in our lifetime.” He had seen the solar farm afterward and was concerned about them. “They look like somebody took a shotgun and blasted it into the air and let the pellets fall down and shatter holes all in them.”
Aerial video of the solar farm supports his statements and shows widespread and horrific damage to the farm and surrounding areas. For Kaminski and others in the area, the leaking chemicals from these broken solar panels is a huge concern. As they were knocked down to the already-soaked ground, they could have easily been absorbed and gone to the water tables in the area. “That’s what we take a shower with, we drink with. It could be in our water now.”
While “experts” told ABC 13 that the cadmium telluride in the panels does not dissolve into water, the National Institute of Health considers it to be an “Irritant” and an “Environmental Hazard.” These classifications alone should be more than enough to tell you that it has no business getting into the ground, especially near a water table.
Seeing just how obliterated these solar panels were should tell us all we need to know about using them. They are a great idea in theory and can help offset electricity costs, but they have no business replacing nuclear or coal-burning power plants. Not now, and likely not in the future. If they do, we are all going to be up a creek.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
