, Nevada is making a push to become a leader in renewable energy. About 80 percent of the state is public land, much of it maintained by the Bureau of Land Management. The nearly year-round sunshine and abundance of space make it an attractive option for solar companies.
“We need to recognize that any form of energy is going to have some impacts,” said Nels Johnson, North American director for renewable energy at The Nature Conservancy. “The question is how do we try to avoid and minimize those impacts?” “The idea that these projects are saving us from climate change is, at the very least, questionable,” said Kevin Emmerich from the Nevada conservation group Basin and Range Watch. “We’re not really thinking about true conservation.”
This is part of a national push away from fossil fuels amid a deepening climate emergency, caused in part by the burning of energy sources such as coal, oil and gas.
Not true & kings, dictators, emperors & Autocrat’s are all the same, they suck!!! There’s a reason this country is a democracy. The government protects the people’s freedoms from tyrants being, rulers, companies, corporations & dictators who try to overthrow the people!
That's lack of education. I'm sure these people that don't believe in green energy don't have any technology or engineering studies.
Mining also destroys the land and the water sources.
