The Maker doesn’t suffer such intrusions and has been known to eat solar panels whole. Not only is this risky for those working on solar projects, but Sandworms are endangered, making it even more important that we protect their habitat.

  • Why would monkey-wrenchers want to sabotage renewable energy sources?
