The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the final Environmental Impact Statement for the Jove Solar Project, which could generate 600 MW if approved.

Jove Solar proposes to construct, operate, maintain and eventually decommission a utility-scale solar facility and potential battery energy storage system on 3,495 acres of public land and 38 acres of county lands in La Paz County, Ariz. The project would connect to the 500 kV Cielo Azul switching station and Ten West Link transmission line.

The BLM’s preferred alternative would avoid construction within the desert wash that crosses the project, preserve the channel floodplain, maintain wildlife habitat connectivity and avoid areas of environmental sensitivity.

“The BLM supports efficient development of renewable energy on our nation’s public lands to reach the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035,” says Ray Castro, BLM Yuma field manager.

“We will continue to engage with Tribal, federal, state and local governments, local communities, stakeholder groups and industry as this project moves toward implementation.”

A Notice of Availability will publish in the Federal Register. Project information is available at the BLM National NEPA Register.

Is School a Jail Sentence?

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
