Your problem is you can't think. You follow the lib mantra regardless of the cost to taxpayers.

The highlight of the story is that the project is a failure. A boondoggle. It isn't working as advertised. The other part of the story is just that its ironic that one group that pushes things to ridiculous extremes (some "environmentalists") are going after a golden calf of another group that pushes things to ridiculous extremes (The "AGW" adherents.)

Oh, if that were only true...

While the "Warmists" play nicey nicey with the Deniers, temperatures are soaring higher and faster than even the wildest predictions of the scientists.

And the costs of AGW-boosted disasters climb almost every year:

It's not all bad news on the Climate:

Solar is Growing Faster than Non-Renewables in the US

This graph is old - it's growing much faster now...
