The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is holding an open-house meeting in Yuma, Ariz. on Feb. 15 to provide information on the Department of the Interior’s efforts to support the updated Western Solar Plan.
The public meeting will preview the BLM’s proposed revisions to the agency’s plan, which would streamline the BLM’s framework for siting solar energy projects and expand the bureau’s program to cover five additional states across the West.
“The BLM is committed to ensuring public lands do their part to meet our nation’s clean energy goals,” says BLM’s director, Tracy Stone-Manning. “We can and must do so responsibly, and we look forward to hearing from the public on how to achieve that balance.”
The updated Western Solar Plan evaluates six alternatives, each proposing to make different amounts of public land available to solar development applications under different criteria such as proximity to transmission infrastructure and designated critical habitat. Public input will inform a Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision.
The Draft Solar Programmatic EIS public comment period extends until April 18. In addition to this public meeting, BLM plans to hold two virtual and five other in-person public meetings during the comment period.

COVID-19 and Dr. Anthony Fauci
Well, if I had the IQ of a squirrel and believed that Fauci colluded with hundreds of other top scientists around the world to enslave the planet’s population, I would jump right on board.
Doesn’t work for me, though.
Today, however, belief in science and reason makes me a communist.

ExxonMobil Has a PR Campaign that Will Appeal to Some People
If you want a steady stream of information about the supposed value that ExxonMobil is bringing to the world, you may want to sign up for this.
These people are playing for keeps, btw. They’re destroying a little piece more of this planet every day, and they understand that completely.
But there is money at stake. Lots of it.

The War in Iran
To the reader who sent me this meme:
I wouldn’t say that Trump’s illegal invasion of Iran was done for “no … reason.”
What he did created world chaos and caused most Americans in particular to suffer. The more desperate we become, the more likely we’ll be to accept his repeated claims that “Only I can fix it.”
Chaos also helps to justify a claim of a “national emergency” that Trump could use to cancel the 2026 midterms. If November happens as everyone predicts, this will the end of his political and legal future.
Destroying renewable energy to further enrich his Big Oil megadonors makes Trump that much more powerful.
We’re in a pathetic position.
I’m not one to say, “I told you so,” but since my adolescence, I predicted that big money in government would soon ruin this country.
