$2,200,000,000 solar farm in California desert switched off after 'not serving its purpose'

A $2 billion solar farm project to combat climate change has ended in disaster, after officials were forced to pull the plug on the experiment.

After splashing $2.2 billion on the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, which is located in California’s Mojave Desert, it was hoped that the state would be able to cash in on the money it saved that would have been spent on fossil fuels.

But, what it has delivered since it opened in 2014 has been in stark contrast to what was anticipated.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
