I wonder if this affects ranchers with gazing rights through BLM? I forgot: eliminate grazing rights and you eliminate beef to save the climate! Better to send money to China for solar panels.

Haha! It will. Also looking forward to seeing how this interacts with the BLM's new conservation and mitigation leases, which conflicts with their "multiple-use and sustained yield" mission and has elevated a non-use over other purposes. Mitigation leases in particular may be used by solar and wind developers to "mitigate" their harms by renting lands to "set aside" elsewhere.

Democratic party of freedom wants CAGW denial to be a crime (Walz).

Real criminals are the bellicose, screeching, fearmongers and their bogus GHE.

Believe = religion

Think = opinion

Know = science

Here’s what I know.

You??

Water vapor, clouds, ice, snow create 30% albedo which makes the Earth cooler not warmer.

W/o GHE there is no water and Earth goes lunarific, a barren rock ball, 400 K lit side, 100 K dark refuting a warming GHE.

“TFK_bams09” GHE heat balance graphic and ubiquitous clones don’t balance plus violate LoT.

Kinetic heat transfer processes of contiguous atmospheric molecules render a surface black body and it’s “extra” upwelling GHE energy impossible.

GHE is bogus and CAGW a scam so alarmists must resort to fear mongering, lies, lawsuits, censorship and violence.

Great post, Sarah. I am a mechanical engineer who designs products to work with solar panels charging batteries. This is all these toxic panels are good for: charging toxic batteries. For only about six hours per day. They are a complete toxic waste with a cost/benefit = infinity.

Doesn't it? Personally, I would *love* if the American West was covered with them just like that. (Not!).
