What happens when billions of dollars of federal stimlus funds are approved to support global warming initiatives that make no economic sense? You get solar mirrors in the middle of the california desert. Unfortunately, the desert is populated by the flat tailed lizard. As the LA times reports “There are significant environmental issues involved in the California gold rush-like scenario unfolding in the desert,” said Peter Galvin, conservation director of the Center for Biological Diversity. “We are not going to just roll over when critical wild lands and last habitats of endangered species are in the mix.”
The company behind the project is already spending a huge amount of money on buying 6500 acres of habitat for this little lizard, who is kind of cute:

Global warming fanatics versus environmental fanatics. Who will win? Sadly, its all of us who pay taxes that lose.
I can’t think of a better way to spend 15 Billion of our money, can you?
