Hail wrecks TWO SQUARE MILES of solar panels in Texas; Dems claim "didn't happen"

Whut dis? (Click here to see the one-minute video)

Here's how the professional Democrat-regime-fellators at Newsweek "reported" it:

"On March 15 thousands of panels on a solar farm southwest of Houston, Texas, were damaged by hail.  Aerial footage showed rows of cracked photo-voltaic cells near Needville in Fort Bend County, Texas."

Ahh, so according to the communist sons of bitches at Newsweek the panels were..."damaged," eh?  And according to the "experts" at one of the myriad fed empires called the "National Renewable Energy Lab" a bit of "damage" only cuts a solar panel's output by four percent.  Yay!

Wait...Newsweek is a pro-Democrat rag.  You don't suppose they might...um...fudge a bit about something that might make pipo skeptical about biden regime programs, do ya?  So let's take a closer look, shall we?



That look like "four percent damage" to you?  Dude, that's "destroyed."  Now, you likely don't live in Texas so you probably don't care about this "incident."  Here's why you should:

As anyone who's lived in west Texas knows, they have big thunderstorms constantly.  And the big ones often produce...wait for it...hail.  So either the political insiders who got millions of taxpayer dollars (or "tax credits," which can be converted to cash) to build this were too stupid to know about frequent large hail in Texas, OR...wait for it...they didn't care.

"Wait, why wouldn't they care?"  Because this white elephant was made possible by one of the half-dozen trillion-dollar-scam LAWS--like the "American Reinvestment Act"--passed by the Democrats and the biden regime.

Without the outrageous, market-defeating taxpayer subsidies for "green energy" rammed into law by the Democrats, no savvy private investor would have poured millions into this.  It would have been a small "pilot project"--ten acres or so--to test operating cost and reliability predictions.

And how well they could resist hail.

But there are two other huge reasons you need to see these photos and understand the stupidity.  The first is that Democrats and RINOs will keep funding things like this as long as they can...because it wins them votes from gullible people who believe CO2 and nuclear are jus' tarrble, an' we gots ta haz duh "green energy."  So congress-creeps will keep allowing massive tax subsidies for shit like this to become law.

The second reason is way more sinister: it's that because governments at all levels have gotten FAR too powerful, the shitheads who infest government begin to think THEY'RE powerful..and that they're way smarter than the rest of us--and thus that whatever ideas they have must necessarily be faaabulous.

So you're gonna see stupid shit like this year after year.  and not just when the Dem party rules things, cuz the permanent Deep State is FULL of people who think they're super-smaht.  And with a few exceptions, members of congress don't have the technical background to say "Not only no, but hell no."  And the few who DO have a strong tech background are always out-voted.

Need more proof that the so-called "experts" in gruberment will do anything to get you to ignore their incompetence?   Back before the Democrats decided Global Warming was a way to win elections, killing "endangered" birds was just horrible, remember?  The fedrul gummint would fine citizens a thousand bucks for possessing a single eagle feather!

But after Democrat leaders discovered that subsidizing huge windmills would win votes (and fawning, gushing support) from the Greenies, things...changed.  At full speed the blade tips of huge windmills are travelling over 100 miles per hour.  Birds understandably don't expect that and tens of thousands of endangered species are killed by "wind turbines" every year.  But because the Media does whatever the Democrat leaders demand, you almost certainly didn't hear a word about what a few months earlier the Media would have screamed was a total disaster.  "A scandal."

What the Media had screamed about only months earlier--a huge "cause" for environmentalists--suddenly became a non-story.  Vanished without a trace...because Democrats and the Left were perfectly willing to sacrifice the birds--including eagles--for "green energy."

Another example: If you're over 40 you may recall when "save the whales" was a huge rallying cry for the Left.  But when studies by "marine biologists" showed that vibrations transmitted into the ocean by offshore "wind farms" of a hundred "wind turbines" were killing whales, did you hear any complaints about those dead whales from environmentalists or the Left?

Nope, not a damn word.  What the Media had screamed about a year earlier was now a non-story.  So once again the Mainstream Media stopped reporting about what had recently been a huge cause for environmentalists...because Democrats were perfectly willing to sacrifice whales for "green energy."

There's another interesting twist: Something like 90% of the world's solar panels are made by...wait for it...China.  So if the American public--the world's largest consumer market--gets all dreamy about solar panels, China earns billions of dollars.  It's just a coincidence that Joe biden personally pocketed tens of millions of dollars from China, via son Hunty's shell companies.

Here's another indication the fix is in:  If a storm did, say, $100 million in damage to a nuclear powerplant, do ya think that story would lead every "newz" broadcast by the Mainstream Media for several days?  Damn right it would.

How about a $100 million fire at at a natural-gas-fueled generating plant?  Again, you would have seen it on every newscast.

This storm--which almost certainly destroyed $100 million worth of solar panels--happened eleven days ago, and I'll bet you the drink of your choice that unless you live in Texas you never heard about this until now.  Think about why, and what that means.

The "why" is because the Media, like the biden/harris regime, wants people to support banning gas-fired powerplants, replacing 'em with solar and wind.  If they're this biased, think they might be hiding other critical info from ya?

Finally one more hoot: In the comments on this story on X, three Democrat shills whined that they couldn't find any confirmation of this story on the Mainstream Media, so they claimed the story was a hoax.  It took me 30 seconds.  But this is the kind of lies or ignorance that enables the Mainstream Media to lead gullible Democrats around by the nose--and enables the Democrat party to either stay in power or keep enough congressional seats to block the GOP from cleaning up the country.
