Have a nice sunny day, Colorado.

No nuclear radiation, coal ash, heavy oil leak, or explosion - pretty nice, nm

Can you please not be so obtuse? - Are you talking about the loss of solar jobs?

What is this about?

Usual headlines are - sm

Fukishima nuclear radiation, Michigan tar sands oil spill, North Caroline coal ash leak,"do not use or drink the water" in West Virginia from the coal washing chemical leak, trains exploding in North Dakota from oil transport, oil refinery explosions and fires at Texas oil refineries.

Just reminding you that solar power does not have these problems. No more obtuse than the vague conservative posts with links to questionable sources, I would say.

Except that now the "greenies" are complaining - They are never happy

That the solar panels are too hot for the birds. They don't like the wind farms because it hurts the birds. They don't like oil, coal, wood, gas, etc. I don't know what they expect us to use. They always find something that they are not happy about.

happy bird-loving greenie here... - sm

There are always glitches. We learn from them, and hopefully we correct them. Already there are new wind technologies that are less likely to kill birds. I bet we figure out a way to protect solar panels from birds and vice versa.

Identifying the need for improvement is the essence of innovation - something America used to be profoundly good at. There's no need to put a negative spin on our ability to identify problems and set about solving them.

Things always need to be refined and improved on - small solar owner

I have some solar panels that run the house lights, LED television and fans. I wish I could afford more panels, but this is what I have right now. My panels do not even melt the snow that falls on them. I have to brush the snow off them by hand.

I am thinking some of these environmental disasters have done a lot more damage to humans, fish and birds than one super-solar plant. But I do have confidence that even that will be fixed.

Just want to make sure everyone understands this is a joke - sm

It's a spoof, a joke. There is no such thing as a solar spill. (My apologies in advance to the OP - I just want to make sure this board realizes it's a joke.)

It's in California, not Colorado. - Do your research, greenie!

And the "solar spill" is causing problems with the drought, taking too much water, more than a golf course. Oh, my! No more California golf outings for B.O.

are you serious? - sm

Just want to make sure you realize this is a spoof.

Read what was intended from the greenie blog. - I found it through google.

Makes me thing it's supposed to be a spoof spoofing a spoof, but there may be some truth to it.

it is a spoof - sm

It is totally a spoof. I don't know what greenie blog you are referring to, but I would be happy to read it.

Here's something better for the progressives out there. - see link

This is an email forward I received today. I searched and found another related article, see the link at bottom. ***** Email Forward ***** First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week! I'm an engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that's why this mess is so clear to m ...

I never saw James Carville so furious and I don't blame him. This is oil spill is absolutely unforgiveable. The marshlands are being destroyed and probably the whole fishing industry for a few years, if not more than decades. I was reading other reports yesterday and I always read the poster's comments. Some say stop depending on oil and depend on nuclear, solar, and wind. That's easier said than done. Solar and wind are expensive and not a guarantee for northern climates. N ...

Dear MoveOn member, We struggled with whether or not to share this photo, taken of a bird on the beach at East Grand Terre Island, LA on Thursday. It's hard to look at. But we have to face where our addiction to oil has taken us—and this photo brings that home: (Click here if you can't see the image) The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is heartbreaking—but if an image like this can do anything, it can sear into our minds the fact that we need a real plan to get ...

I was protesting Senator Lisa Murkowski's refusal to make BP pay for the disaster that is devastating shrimping communities across the Gulf Coast. Just imagine this: BP can get away with pouring millions of gallons of oil in our seas and I get arrested f ...

What a sad day for many in Colorado. You go to see a movie you have been waiting anxiously to come out and someone goes psycho and kills a bunch of people. They said he bought a ticket and then propped the emergency exit door open to get his guns and bring them back in. Aren't those emergency exits suppose to have alarms that go off when opened? This whole things is just so senseless! My heart goes out to those many families that are now suffering. ...

This is one thing we have to look forward to. After it is all said and done, there will be 50 jobs out of the pipeline Trump wants to go forward with.

Why would we want to go back to making fossil fuels are prime source of energy anyway? So we can make money! Lots of money! ...

BP buys Google, Yahoo oil spill search terms By Hibah Yousuf, staff reporterJune 7, 2010: 6:37 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As BP continues to try to stop the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the energy giant is also dealing with a public relations nightmare. That's why the company is snapping up search phrases like "oil spill" and "oil spill claims" on Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) and Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500). The strategy, says a company spokeswoman, aims to "assist those w ...

Then on further listening and waking up, I realized this was entirely different setting and present day.

Strangely the audience in theater thought this was part of the showing and were not alarmed at fir ...

Only two wonded, thank heavens but now that marijuana is legal in Colorado, they want other laws regarding marijuana repealed? What's wrong with this state? Seems like the tokers don't want to follow ANY laws.

Islamic terrorists have no scruples about slaughtering schoolchildren and that's what worries the residents of Florence, Colorado, when they hear the president talk about transferring up to 61 Gitmo prisoners to the Supermax prison in their small town. It should also concern the prison towns in Kansas and South Carolina that the administration is considering as terrorist depositories. In recent years, Muslim radicals have taken two schools hostage, causing the deaths of 318 schoolchildre ...

"Thanks to Fox News and its expert commentators, millions of Americans now understand the real, hidden reason why Germany's solar-energy industry is so much further along than ours. Turns out it has nothing to do with the fact that Germany's government has long supported the industry far more generously, with policies like feed-in tariffs that stimulate investment in green technologies. No, the real reason is much simpler, explained a trio of journalists on Fox & Friends: It's alw ...

This is sooooo stoopid!!! What do they want the President to do? I guess the President needs to sit at his desk 24 hours/day. After all, he can only handle one catastrophe at a time. I think our President needs to move his office and staff to a boat and park it next to the gusher. Hopefully, that will make people happy. I guess Republicans have forgotten how many days Bush spent at his Texas ranch. Last week, it was an ad. This time, it's a statement from the GOP chairman. O ...
