I'm not sure writing off the rest of the viable habitat because one section is destroyed is sound. Seems a bit arbitrary...and capricious.Shaun G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17039896758011526968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311929704697522769.post-70647348446519383912010-12-12T08:20:04.471-08:002010-12-12T08:20:04.471-08:00BLM has told me that this will appear in the Feder...BLM has told me that this will appear in the Federal Register in the next 30 to 45 days. I asked them if they saw any problems with this after the undercounted numbers of tortoise for the recently approved Ivanpah project, adjacent to Stateline. BLM told me that the area is already disturbed by the Ivanpah solar electric project so this would be a good place now. They are using the cumulative debate to support the Stateline project, not oppose it...Kevinhttp://www.basinandrangewatch.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311929704697522769.post-33371152227100453202010-12-09T08:15:21.145-08:002010-12-09T08:15:21.145-08:00Only decentral solarprojects make the energy susta...Only decentral solarprojects make the energy sustainable.
