A Train Wreck In Slow Motion
How about the left’s latest installment in their ongoing saga, How to Save the Planet by Destroying It First?
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently floated a gem of an idea: clear-cutting 400 acres of pristine forest to make way for a solar farm. That’s right—the people tasked with protecting our natural resources think the best way to go green is to bulldoze the green. Makes perfect sense if you’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid laced with government subsidies and virtue signaling.
This isn’t just a one-off; it’s part of a larger trend of leftist policies that aim to “fix” problems by creating new ones. Let’s not forget California, the state that has practically turned self-sabotage into an art form. In just the last few days, some of the worst wildfires ever, have ravaged communities, thanks to years of mismanagement, over-regulation, and a steadfast refusal to do basic forest maintenance. Why clear deadwood when you can let it pile up and create the perfect conditions for catastrophic fires?
Bonus points if you can blame climate change afterward and rake in federal disaster relief funds. That’s the progressive playbook in action: cause a problem, then profit from it. Yeah?
