I'm sure you're right that she hasnt been to the desert in years (if at all). Just like ANWR (which has the elusive caribou which no one realizes is actually thriving in ANWR) -- the left wing pitches energy independence and solar/wind power but has no clue as to how to get the job done. The media and the left wingers will tell you that these panels will be an eye sore and will stick out like a sore thumb -- possibly even hurt a lizard or rattler -- get over it !!! Install these things so we can truly understand that OIL will always be the major focus for energy. Alternatives will exist, but quite frankly, tell me how in the world are we going to make a solar panel or windmill power cargo ships, airplanes, etc... The only real alternative is nuclear -- but, One Big Ass Mistake America (otherwise known as OBAMA) wont consider it until switchgrass and corn can be proven failures...unbelievable.
