No Free Lunch...

...Unless you are a solar company. 


Yes.  Everything we do will have impacts.  But aren't we supposed to try to minimize those impacts? Isn't that what "environmental organizations have been saying for decades? I would have expected a more sophisticated statement from an organization committed to conserving natural resources and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Isn't turning a blind eye to the pitfalls of utility-scale solar energy development much like ignoring the science behind climate change?  If we consider ourselves conservationist, environmentalists, or greens, does that mean we must become cheerleaders for the renewable energy industry no matter what its impacts are?
