These oil-whore cowards:

DENVER — Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is expected to take about two years.

The Bureau of Land Management says an extensive environmental study is needed to determine how large solar plants might affect millions of acres it oversees in six Western states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.

Others warned the bureau against becoming mired in its own bureaucratic processes on solar energy, while parts of the West are already humming with new oil and gas development.

Craig Cox, the executive director of the Interwest Energy Alliance, a renewable energy trade group, said he worried that the freeze would “throw a monkey wrench” into the solar energy industry at precisely the wrong time.

“I think it’s good to have a plan,” Mr. Cox said, “but I don’t think we need to stop development in its tracks.”

Can you imagine?  EXXON destroys an entire industry in Alaska and Bush is throwing leases at the bastards but SOLAR PANELS need study?! 

Fine, fine.  I say we put panels on every surface of Arizona until nothing BUT BLM land is left.  They can kiss our damn asses.

To quote Mike Malloy, "Have I told you today how much I HATE these bastards"?!
