Projects built on federal land are always subject to the risk that is absent in power projects built on private land with private money.

 

 > Build it where it is out of reach of federal regulations.  Don’t invest in any power project built on federal land.  That was simple.

 

>…Solar and wind farms need large amounts of land, and they can't be in cities or on valuable farmland…

 

Agree with both.  The southwestern USA is the answer to that.  Fly over it or view it on Google Earth, see vast stretches open land, no farming or cattle ranches, not federal land.  Granted there is little water, but you don’t need water to set up wind and solar farms.

 

>… our senile president doesn't allow them to be built on the 28% of the total land area of the USA that is federal land, so where in hell are they supposed to be built?

 

On private land.  With private funding.

 

>…He won't even allow them to be built offshore….

 

So don’t build them there.

 

>… and is even willing to spend $1 billion to bribe a company not to do so!...

 

POTUS doesn’t spend taxpayer money John.  Congress does.

 

>…Spike, do you really really feel that you have to defend this policy?

 

Not at all.  I am saying we shouldn’t use it.  Very simple.  

 

>…Would you have done so if Biden had done it?

Same answer for all the same reasons.  Building on federal land introduces risks that privately funded projects on private land do not carry.
