How Environmental Groups Are Responding to Trump’s ‘Solar Wall’ Pitch

Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / June 25, 2017 / comments



President Donald Trump’s idea of putting solar panels on his long-promised border wall hasn’t gained a lot of support among top environmental lobbying groups—even though the organizations have long backed solar power as a key renewable energy.

    “This way, Mexico will have to pay much less money,” @POTUS says.

“The problem with talking about solar panels on Trump’s border wall is that it’s science fiction,” Travis Nichols, a spokesman for Greenpeace, a liberal environmentalist group, told The Daily Signal. “Just like clean coal does not exist and will never exist, Trump’s wall with solar panels won’t exist, so it’s irrelevant to discuss climate issues.”

I would like to know why solar panels won't work on a wall,or even as a part of a wall. There are NO technical reasons for them not to work there if they work anywhere else.

Travis Nicols has some splain-in to do,or he just needs to admit he is a dogmatic leftist with his head up his ass.
