10. Okay, this is some seriously fucked up shit...

... lemme get this straight. Solar energy is supposed to be part of a grand plan to prevent the destruction of protected species, be they flora or fauna, right? But, just so a few sociopaths can make a buck at the expense of the environment that alternative energy is supposed to protect, corners were cut, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, under-the-table, back-room deals were made, and bald-faced lies were told to rationalize it all. It's hard to see how all this could happen any other way.

So, find a way to work around the trees, and preserve tortoise habitat. Y'all will still make a bundle, garner kudos for your efforts to preserve the environment, instead of killing what you're supposed to protect, and fewer people will lie awake nights thinking of ways to off your sorry asses. Win, win, right?

You're gonna want to keep a closer eye on this shit, Gavin. It'll cost you BIG time if you don't.
