ATI’s Chesser: ‘Green’ Apple Tortures the Environment — for Solar!
by Paul Chesser
With all the forest clear-cutting, particulate emissions, and wildlife displacement with the widespread burning that is associated with Apple’s massive new energy-sucking data center in Maiden, NC, you’d think the folks at Greenpeace’s new Charlotte office and/or dozens of other environmentalist groups would be protesting non-stop over the damage inflicted on Mother Earth.
But such is not the case – at least not that the media is reporting. And why wouldn’t the eco-activists show up and show their irateness and infuriation?
It’s because Apple is building a solar farm.
Read the rest at the National Legal & Policy Center blog.
“County officials appear to know little about the solar farm, except for a staff engineer who approved the erosion-control permit. Even Economic Development Corp. chief Scott Millar, who helped bring Apple to Maiden, did not know about the solar farm until a reporter showed him the erosion-control permits.”
So it would seem that there is no requirement for an approved building permit or land use plan before people can clear cut an area and generate airborne emissions….makes Maiden N.C. appear as nonchalant about environmental protection as China!
Gee whiz! Don’t you get it? These folks are out to “Save the planet!” They have good intentions. That’s all you need if you are liberal!
