I find this really troubling!!!! An Israeli company is starting work to build a solar energy farm that’s planned to cover some 13,000 acres across two northern Indiana counties when completed.
But all food comes from the grocery store packaged in plastic, glass, metal or cardboard everybody knows that. There is no need to have those huge fields taking up the space where a sprawling city could be built or could be covered with millions of PV panels or tall windmills built. So why do farmers feel they need all of those big ugly machines to work in the fields when all they would have to do is go to the grocery store and buy what they want to eat whenever they want it.
This is the mentality of far too many bottom feeding city dwellers. They have on concept of how anything is produced. Ask one of them how glass bottles are made and they will give you a blank stare or say it is made from glass Duh. You will get much the same reaction about all other packaging materials, Mining of materials, harvesting trees growing specific plants to make their clothing and some forms of plastics mixed with by-products or the much-hated oil that has been produced from drilling deep bore holes, Particular grades of sand with a high silica content to make glass, why cattle pigs, sheep and poultry need to be raised. None of this and more means anything to them, maybe they think everything comes from a star trek replicator (Tea El gray hot).
Do I have a low opinion of these so-called people? Ask me in person something how I really feel.
