fjnance32 and I don't always agree on things, but I usually find her/his responses being fact-filled and original. Certainly not as emotionally charged as others.
Onion's challenge of identifying a large-scale renwable project accident: there are no large-scale renewable projects in operation in this country. Renewable projects so far in operation are small. But the big ones are coming, that's for sure, and with them will be disasters: earth-shifting from geothermal plants; hazardous air pollutants from solar plants (e.g., Nevada Solar One in Boulder City); heat transfer fluid (i.e., isopentane or similar fluids) leaks (stored by the millions of gallons at solar thermal plants); ice and tornados bringing down wind turbines......matter of time.
Who writes this stuff?!? Most of the corridors from Dept of ENERGY (BLM was only a cooperating agency) followed existing corridor alignments. the southern half of NV has severe land restrictions because of the test site, the refuge, and a multitude of other protected areas. The process for designating these corridors is beneficial in consolidating routes for new utilities. and by the way, anyone can still propose routes for utilities such as pipelines and power lines anywhere they choose - they don't have to follow these designated corridors. DOE's record of decision doesn't necessarily streamline the permitting process.
You guys got it all wrong - the increase is to pay for the new solar plant that will do away with all their coal and gas plants. the environmentalists laud this effort because it's what they've been whining about so much. we can all breathe easier now knowing there will be no more greenhouse gases, well except for our cars, planes, boats, trains, and natural CO2 causes, and the LV Strip will go dark as will our homes and businesses. LOL
both candidates are out of touch - we need some new meat in 2010. speaking of meat, about time to go dive into some turkey and giblets
Thanks for the conversations - Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

methinks the author misunderstands the former - the refuge complex is now new, it's already designated as such - four refuges - what is new is the land use plan itself which until now the complex had no formal mgmt plan.
