“Solving climate change will have side effects. Get over it.” ironically that’s from one her of colleagues at the LA Times

The Western Solar Plan opens up a significant portion of the Arizona Strip (the part of AZ seperated by the Colorado River) to solar sprawl. It was at one time considered the most wild part of the Colorado Plateau - now a BLM extraction zone. (green for solar)

The heart of the solar sacrifice area in the Western Solar Plan is near Tonopah, Nevada. The good thing is they will have a long way to go before this could all be hooked up to the grid. Stopping the Greenlink West transmission will also help.

This may be paywalled for some , but a good article on how the Western Solar Plan will impact Nevada. Thanks Alan Halaly🏜️🌼🚰 🎰 reviewjournal.com/news/politics-…

Every day now, the BLM pushes another extractive green energy nightmare on public lands. It is clear they are not caring about all the resource damage. This time, Greenlink North in sagebrush habitat along Nevada's Loneliest Road. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-19544.pdf

Here is part of the Great Basin that the White House intends to destroy for green extraction under Greenlink North.

Final decision approving the Green Link West Transmission Line will be out today in the afternoon. This is also NV Energy, the same ones building Greenlink North. It will be announced today at a Press Conference in Las Vegas.

In 2022, BLM hired 43 renewable energy coordinators throughout the state of Nevada.

Today, Bureau of Land Management - National approved a massive transmission line project which threatens the Great Basin's public lands with destructive energy development. Basin & Range Watch Western Watersheds #BLM #Nevada ow.ly/YYXH50Tk9xQ

1/📢 NEW ARTICLE! I am so pleased to have a new🔓article JPS w/ Benjamin Sovacool & Bojana Novakovic! As Basin & Range Watch & Dustin Mulvaney also show, solar development has serious negative impacts on California's deserts! ➡️doi.org/10.1080/030661… BU Institute for Global Sustainability #energy #degrowth

Concerning the recent concern we see for solar plans in Amargosa Valley-with or without the Western Solar Plan, there are 19,000 acres of solar projects BLM expects to move forward in the next year. Transmission plans are moving too.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT! We are hosting a virtual town hall 9/18 at 6pm to discuss the BLM solar plan. Please SIGN OUR PETITION to tell the BLM: support a balanced approach to solar energy in the Amargosa River Watershed. Links to petition and meeting in bio

Greenlink West approval, Greenlink North review, and Western Solar PLan have created a new large scale solar feeding trough on public lands in Nevada. About 30,000 new acres in 7 applications and counting. pucweb1.state.nv.us/puc2/DktInfo.a…
