Wildlife Laws vs. Windmills: Nature Wins, Green Loses Again
In a dazzling display of eco-irony, federal laws designed to protect "land and wildlife" are now moonlighting as renewable energy blockades across the U.S. Rather than championing wind and solar, these laws are being wielded as tools to stymie them, causing headaches for clean energy advocates. As one insider noted, it’s like trying to hug a porcupine — good intentions meet prickly realities. The unexpected clash between conservation and innovation reminds us that sometimes protecting the natural world means sidelining the planet's future. Who knew 'protection' could sound so counterproductive?
