"There’s no comprehensive look at the impact of all this to the state." It did not have to be this way. Lawmakers and energy interests have for years brushed off efforts to do more planning and look at least-impact siting options. thenevadaindependent.com/article/vegas-…

What does a balanced transition to renewable energy look like in the Amargosa watershed? One approach is voluntary transition of private agricultural lands into solar sites, offering a win-win-win: clean energy production, economic growth for the community, and ... (1/2)

Logging is the 3rd highest emitter in Canada. It should be measured that way, a new report says cbc.ca/news/science/l…

Gonna do a rural Nevada tour next week going to county land use advisory committees about the Western Solar Plan. If there's gonna be a sagebrush rebellion over this thing, I want in. Some national enviro groups may have left Nevada for dead, but this one has not.

Despite everything, global deforestation is only picking up speed -- "The Indonesian govt plans to establish ~5 million acres of sugarcane plantations in the eastern region of Papua, home to the last great expanse of primary rainforest in Southeast Asia." news.mongabay.com/2024/06/sugarc…

"Fire-chasing beetles are often the very first to arrive at the scene of a wildfire...By using pheromones, chemical signals and auditory cues, Melanophila acuminata will fly over eighty miles to locate a freshly burned forest." chicoer.com/2024/08/30/bla…

The Ootsa Lake Complex in British Columbia jumped it’s containment lines and went nuclear today. A monster run. Fire weather is predicted across much of Canada this weekend. Canada is back… #wildfire #bc #alberta #yukon #nwts

More fire starts arriving in the Oregon Cascades...

Urban, fake environmentalists who see deserts as wastelands have endorsed plans to send fleets of bulldozers into the Mojave, Great Basin, and Sonoran Deserts to destroy the habitats of species like this. Nothing “green” about it.
