It looks like you can't please everyone, even if they are on the same side . Columnist: "The mammoth Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for solar development on public lands in six southwestern states was released July 24, and environmentalist response has been, like the PEIS's...

Stopping that project will be an uphill battle. The Obama administration is pro-green power, but passes over other environmental issues. Not even the mighty desert tortoise can block solar projects. http://www.pe.com/localnews/environment/stories/PE_News_Local_D_tortoises11.38e3062.html Federal land...

There are many scientific studies backing up what anyone can see after a rain in the desert. THe water runs off the hills in the ruts,(now deep furrows)collects in puddles and is evaporated. Sal, why doesn't the rain water soak into the ground below the ruts? The surface crust has already been brok...
