The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has published the final Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Libra Solar Project in Mineral and Lyon counties, Nev.

Under the proposal, Libra Solar, a subsidiary of Arevia Power, would construct, operate and maintain a 700 MW solar facility, 700 MW BESS and 24-mile-long generation tie-line under a 30-year BLM right-of-way grant. 

The project would be located on approximately 5,141 acres of public lands in Mineral County, and the tie-line would connect to the Fort Churchill substation in Lyon County.

“BLM manages vast stretches of public lands that have the potential to make significant contributions to the nation’s renewable energy portfolio,” says Kim Dow, BLM’s Carson City district manager. “To promote the development of these energy sources, BLM provides sites for environmentally sound development of renewable energy on public lands.”

BLM has permitted 25 GW of clean energy projects, including solar, wind, geothermal and gen-ties.

If you look this up, you’ll see that it’s correct.  Eisenhower was a fierce advocate of the following:

  • Infrastructure, e.g., the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, creating the 41,000-mile Interstate Highway System to improve national defense and commerce
  • Social Programs, Social Security, minimum wage, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
  • Fiscal Policy, lower taxes, a balanced budget, and reduced government regulation, aiming to limit federal intervention in local affairs
  • Foreign Policy, nuclear deterrence and relying on the CIA for covert operations
  • Civil Rights, desegregation of the military and the armed forces, support for the Brown v. Board of Education decision

Voter ID

My only problem with this is the U.S. Constitution, which clearly lays out the laws by which our elections will be conducted.  I.e., it’s up to each of the 50 states to make and implement their own procedures.

Obviously, conspiracy theorists, at the direction of Newsmax and their peers, are convinced that there is a significant amount of voter fraud, but the fact is that there have been only a few dozen incidents of proven fraud out of the last one billion votes cast.

Yes, we could have an amendment could be proposed and passed into law that changes all of this, but until then, I’m going to support the U.S. Constitution, which has done right by the American people since its passage in 1789.

But seriously, what are a few million agonizing deaths from these carcinogens compared with huge campaign donations?
