BLM to open 22 mil acres in Western states to solar

[Dos Perros]

A proposal. A PROPOSAL. A PROPOSAL!!!!!!! Propose that everyone took their heads out of their assess but that %100 won’t happen.

Dude you're a troll. You should take some time to reflect and start a new account and try again.

I think there is no comparison to natural gas or even oil. It will kill everything on the land. They need to put them on every Amazon warehouse, government building, Walmart, closed down mall. Elon Musk has shingles that are solar panels, so you can put them on almost any house. https://www.tesla.com/solarroof

Also, I wasn't even close to joking about the target practice.

Somethings you do not joke about (unsure on your part due to wording). Do target practice on critical infrastructure and do not be surprised if you get brought up on terrorism-related charges.

I'm sure those solar fields will be as scenic as the wind farms.

Wow thats real beautiful . A few years from now when all the windmills and solar farms go to crap it will look like a scene out of MAD MAX . Wonder how much of this stuff is popping up around Marthas Vineyard ? My guess is not much . It obstructs one s view while eating caviar and doesnt aid with digestion.

None of this would be happening if it wasn't taxpayer subsidized. In our recent cold spell here in WA the wind and solar (100s of millions $$$) produced basically nothing. Nada. When we needed it the most. Here in NW WA, where we are famous for rain and months of cloudy skies our local electric coop is putting in solar farms to comply with the regulations that dictate a percentage has to come from "renewable" sources. Almost all of our electricity already comes from dams (which the govt is trying to remove). Insanity. Rant over.

Every shit policy ever adopted was a shit proposal at some point. And this is a shit proposal.

That didnt take you long…. First spin factor. In all honesty I bet on you being second though

same thing when Texas had the big freeze, biggest drop in energy production % and net per us gov, was wind and solar. This is solar & wind mandated by EPA to replace any old coal and projected new energy consumption needs

Hypothetically, it would just be a mostly peaceful protest. A lot more peaceful than BLM and antifa burning down billions of dollars of property and murdering people. Maybe when they plow under your favorite hunting spot for solar, you can write a stern letter to the appropriate people.

He ain’t wrong. If you disagree, post your counterpoints.

Just go read his thread about wolves in CO.....

See it’s not that I disagree with the idea that blm shouldn’t have solar on it. This happening would certainly result in less room for recreation on public land. I sometimes I find it funny how people here get their panties in a bunch over certain things.

Yes see the wolf discussion. I had minimal context and understanding of the wide array of issues that people who didn’t like wolves saw as important so I posed the question. And I got great answers that changed my perspective. Is there a problem with that? Who cares if I don’t agree with most of the gents here. This is a forum to discuss hunting and hunting related topics. Not a “you have to be part of this echo chamber” forum.

You learned a lesson in the other thread and immediately forgot it? Seems like your knowledge of public land management is lacking, which is fine but don't come spouting about a proposal not being the right time to get flustered when that's the exact right time to start commenting and calling elected officials. A proposal means a lot of behind the scenes work has been done to get there.

You are surprised people on a back country hunting forum are upset with the gvmnt opening 22 million acres of public land to development?

Is there a link for public comment? A lot of us may be considered FUDs, so we might as well show them what FUDs do when people really piss us off and shut this crap down.

Solar is a good idea, on small scale and locally (roof tops and homes, parking garages/lots), but not in natural areas that are few and becoming fewer. Im sure if people really dig into it there is a T&E species of some sort that could shut down every site. Just depends on if that gets over looked or not.

This is the link from the BLM press release where you can submit public comment.

I feel like I will be pissing in the wind but I’m going to submit a lengthy comment on why I don’t support this whatsoever.

Crazy how one of the cleanest forms of power is nuclear.... but be damned if that is ever used or focused on due to the efficiency of it, and how much safer it is and how much of a less of a impact it has on the area. (I'm talking about safe modern technology, and not putting backup generators under ground next to a ocean in a earthquake prone area)
