It's still a bargain compared to the bill the taxpayers got stuck with to get all that Iraqi oil revenue. Pity about the birds though. Poor little things never knew what hit them.

Neither did the Republican Guard.
You're acting as your own straight man now?

What does Iraqi oil have to do with this?The US is producing enough oil for its own needs already.
Define "this"?
Okay. What does Iraqi oil have to do with solar energy boondoggles such as Solyndra and the one described in the OP?
The Ivanpah solar project, partly owned by Google, is now seeking a $539 million federal grant to help pay off a controversial $1.6 billion loan it has already received from taxpayers.
too bad they didnt invest that cash in lng technologies

Now I don't particularly believe that the Ivanpah plant is going to work as originally intended, is safe for wildlife or in any way is the future of solar energy, but seeing that we may well spend 7 billion to refuel and refit an aircraft carrier that is only 26 years old (of a 50 year life expectancy) and which given the advancements in smaller amphibious ships drone technology and missiles, has an uncertain continuing mission in our force, what is a couple billion spent to try to revolutionize electric power production?
Your concern about those birds would carry more weight if it was tied to concern about the temperature of the planet.

what was seen, cant be unseen
ARGH
you be an armchair General without the arm n chair
If the entire venture is lost... so what? We waste far more on ships without missions just to keep our "Carrier building work force" employed (but that bit is of course not a union job action because that would be bad).

yes, we NEEDA keep em rolling cause when we need em we cant start from scratch
We are starting from scratch, planning more carriers at 12.9 to 16 billion each, again despite several top naval expert's opinions about their continuing role given the changing technology.
At least we'll be able to launch 500 drones from one instead of only 60 piloted craft.
If we can get solar energy plants like this to work, be safe and produce to their potential, we can cut even more foreign energy and make the entire middle east irrelevant enough to go scorched earth on them if they attack Israel. See?
and BTW, we (US) are energy independent!
we don't needa go scorched earth, S....we can always use the infrastructure left over...its the GREEN thing to do:re:
