This land grab for Obamas big donors will be a blight on the environment. Where are you tree huggers now ? This GE built turbine, also a pay back, will be a more pulluting mess than the much smaller footprint than many new oil platforms. I bet the government did all the studies to determine that all environmental concers were addressed. I also have a bridge to sell. For 445 square miles, millions in incentives and tax breaks, the less than 150 permanent Green Jods wont even make a dent in the nations unemployment and under-employment problem. This is what we get from Big Statist Socialists.
I agree...except for Military bases etc., the lands belongs to the states.
Interesting. I read a while ago about some shady deal Harry Reid had made pertaining to land.
Where are the EPA and environmental studies on this land?
Good God...how long until these ecomorons and property thieves are tossed from power?
shades of Clintonesque or what? This is effectively the 3rd Clinton term in so many ways.
How many millions acres did he declare off limits for any kind of development or mining and such?
Any physics or engineering people here who can give us a good estimate about the expected yield of solar energy per square meter, kilometer etc. of solar collector panels?

Obama's executive order 13575 helping to move Agenda 21 along.

Is it going to be called “The National Scrap Metal Scavenger Act” ?
More, if it is OK to denude the landscape with solar panels, then why is it not OK to remove the natural resources before they denude the landscape for solar panels?
It seems to me that permanent solar panels will have an environmental impact greater than a temporary destruction of the landscape to remove resources below the surface.
In a generation or two the land could be back to normal. But with a permanent solar panel allocation in place, the land is lost in shade.
Public land my hiney, more like government land. Huge tracts of government land.
This socialist Muslim POS Obama is destroying the U.S. and doing to the U.S. what Chavez is in Venezuela. Obama is turning the U.S. into a socialist 3rd world hell hole where we will be oppressed,starving slaves as is the result in all socialist countries like Cuba, Venezuela, USSR, Cambodia , N Korea ,etc.
I'm sick and tired of all this socialism.
They never learn. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Hence the state of our nation.
Disgusting. I'd like to see proof of this 60% down to 45% lie, er, line.
I’m familiar with a couple of solar farm projects. 250 megawatts, 4000 acres+. 500 megawatts, 9000 acres or so.
Either project could be done on 40 acres if it was natural gas.
There is nothing green about an energy source that wipes out thousands of acres for a few megawatts. Wind power is wasteful of land in much the same way.
Break the economy, you need less fuel. Its like magic. Economic depressions are great fuel saving strategies.
How much of that is due to solar power? Isn't it due to the oil exporation that Obama hates?
