Obama’s Department of Energy also provided $1.6 billion in loan guarantees to Ivanpah, a $535 million grant and tax credits, while the plant killed between 3,500 - 6,000 birds each year from collisions with heliostats, or from being incinerated when flying through the concentrated heat beams that reached 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The site was within the critical habitat of the desert tortoise, an endangered species native to the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts, conservation groups have called Ivanpah an “environmental disaster!” YT.
The wankers who remain in power in South Australia have located similarly disastrous projects in that state, that are only guaranteed to make trillion$$ for the ones selling the tech, like the ones sold the 173,500 "thermal connectors" to the Obama's DOE made trillion$$ .. Queensland news is full of ppl pushing the same thing.
We have Star Trek and Star Wars franchises. Star Gate was supposed to be the 3rd Sci-Fi franchise related to stars. The question is why the author didn't name it Star Gate, to fit with other Star based franchises, instead named it Stargate. The author must be an idiot-savant, or doesn't care about correct Sci-Fi names. Or is simply just an illiterate imbecile.
