The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking public comment on the draft environmental assessment for a proposed clean energy project on private lands and approximately 40 acres of public lands in eastern Riverside County, Calif. 

If approved, the Sapphire Solar project could generate and store 17 MW of energy for delivery to the statewide transmission grid.

EDF Renewables Development proposes to construct, operate, maintain and eventually decommission a solar photovoltaic electricity facility including solar panels, battery energy storage and other facilities on mostly private lands.

“The Bureau of Land Management welcomes public feedback for the Sapphire Solar project to ensure responsible clean energy development in the California desert,” says Shelly Lynch, California Desert district manager.

“If approved, this project would contribute to California’s renewable energy portfolio and the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of a carbon-pollution free energy economy.”

The public lands within the project site are designated as Development Focus Area lands in the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, a landscape-level plan that aims to streamline renewable energy development while conserving desert ecosystems and providing outdoor recreation opportunities.

The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan covers 10.8 million acres of public lands in the desert regions of seven California counties: Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego.

The public comment period closes November 4.

Getting Rid of Trump

Published

Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.

It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months.  But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it.  Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.

We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.

Steve Bannon on the Consequences of a Blue Tsunami in November

Yes, Hegseth and RFK, Jr. will be gone, but I think what’s going to happen first is the decapitation of the snake itself, i.e., the removal of Trump from the presidency.

Based on the news on social media, this could happen via the 25th Amendment, based on Trump’s mental deterioration.  In my view, that’s a shame.  If he’s not criminally prosecuted, this nation will be deprived of letting the American people and the rest of the world know that rule of law still matters in the United States.
