Solar project to destroy thousands of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/solar-project-destroy-thousands-joshua-100000768.html

It's crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.

I never liked U2 after they got all up themselves anyway.

I love the story of when they played at the Barrow lands in Glasgow, I think. I'm paraphrasing

Bono walks onto the stage and claps really slowly, at 3 second intervals.

After a bit, he says dramatically "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies"

A bloke in the audience shouts "Stop doing it then you cruel cunt"
