One of the projects is a 500-megawatt solar array that would be erected on 5,130 acres northwest of Ludlow. The site is between the Kelso Dunes Wilderness area and the Cady Mountains, identified by the federal government as a potential wilderness area.
“This one would be devastating,” Myers said, because it would divide the two protected areas.
The applicant is BrightSource Energy, which has offices in Oakland. Company spokesman Keely Wachs said Feinstein’s letter hasn’t changed BrightSource’s intentions.

Plenty of other land that has been damaged by farming and other uses can be used for renewable energy projects, include swaths of property along Interstate 15 between Victorville and Barstow, Myers said.
The only farming I know about is along the Mojave river...lots of folks clustered there...
Will DiFi and her econut purists prevail?
Will RFK Jr. have to just ‘Moveon’ from this and many other projects he is pushing for BrightSource?
Stay tuned. Same bat channel same moonbat station next time. (if the solar array is working, that is. ;-)
We got us some Land Wars on top of Water Wars in the West..
