This towering structure will dominate the landscape in and around the Sand to Snow National Monument, the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, and Scenic Highway 62. change.org/p/stop-morongo…

And so it begins. The survey stakes go up for Greedlink West Transmission Project, a needless giant remote high-voltage line to carry natural gas generation to AI and data centers in Nevada. Intact wild basins like the Amargosa will be carved up. A prairie falcon flew over.

Hard to see this be sacrificed for solar panels that will essentially do the same job on a roof. Solar panels don't care where they generate energy from. This site is scheduled to be bulldozed this spring for the Rough Hat Clark Solar Project, NV.

This will benefit all energy extraction including green energy. The solar industry was the biggest opponent of Nevada's Avi Kwa Ame National Monument. thenevadaindependent.com/article/trump-…

Incomplete article that fails to mention the environmental impacts of this project. The carbon footprint of constructing the project was huge. Scraper graders were lined up for years. It caused terrible dust and impacted thousands of plants and animals. laist.com/news/climate-e…

Basin and Range Watch first opposed this in 2023, right when the news came out. We contacted all the politicians and always knew this would be a death sentence for Ash Meadows and the local community. 8newsnow.com/news/local-new…

This is a welcome environmental move from the Interior Department who has not exactly been very conservation minded. Interior brings bald eagles into its beef with wind energy subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

The first Trump Adminstration cancelled the Crescent Peak Wind Project in 2018. It was going to be right next to the Mojave National Preserve and it it had been built, there would be probably be no Avi Kwa Ame National Monument doi.gov/pressreleases/…

These mines are being pushed through by both sides and mitigation is supposed to be the compensation for the destruction but always fails to offset the entire scope of damage. insideclimatenews.org/news/05082025/…

Sierra Club preached Green Colonialism on public lands while tiptoeing around climate disaster meat. When they sent out pix of a tangle of transmission lines & yellow skies, urging support for "green" streamlining- you could tell they were a lost cause. insideclimatenews.org/news/11082025/…

Just one example of the massive clearing that is being inflicted all over western Nevada for the Greenlink Wwst Transmission Line. This is a laydown area in Amargosa Valley and took out habitat for burrowing owls, endemic scorpions and tortoise.

Industrial destruction east of Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge for the Greenlink West Transmission Project. Silent enviro groups don't seem to mind the 1,200 acre feet of water being used.

Here is another huge laydown yard bulldozed for the Greenlink West transmission line near Scotty's Junction, Nevada. This is being peddled as "good for the Earth" over planned industrial solar.
