Weakening protections for Great Basin ecosystems.

Basin and Range Watch quoted."The Department of Defense is raising potential safety concerns about a small portion of the 472-mile Greenlink West transmission line that encroaches on restricted military airspace,".

Removal of Greater Sage Grouse Priority Habitat Units is designed to help miners, transmission projects, energy development and other land uses in the Great Basin.

Visual simulation of what the Soda Mountain Solar Project would look like. One - Zzyxx Road in the Mojave National Preserve. Two, from Mojave National Preserve. This would be 3 square miles of solar panels and new transmission.

Destruction of Mojave Desert Habitat for the Greenlink West Transmission Line. BLM said "there have been incidents" but will not detail the desert tortoise mortality. FOIA submitted.

First we have endless urban sprawl wasting limited water resources, now the data centers are cutting into the cookie cutter sprawl. Sustanability appears to be illegal in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Future demand for groundwater:. "advanced geothermal companiesraised the possibility of drilling at least four times deeper than conventional wells to create artificial reservoirs in dry hot rocks.".

Nextera Energy has dropped their Beatty Energy Center Solar Project which would have originally been over 6,000 acres next to Death Valley National Park and the Rhyolite ghost town. They are still pushing for one called Sawtooth Solar. Story here:

Here is the post.According to the US Air Force, the Greenlink West Transmission project has been suspended near Beatty, Nevada because of restricted military air space. Last year, BLM moved the Greenlink Right of Way east for Anglo Gold Ashanti to avoid their mining claim.

The BLM sent us a complaint over our last post claiming Greenlink West has NOT been suspended near Beatty, NV over restricted airspace - OK, but the Air Force said "no solutions have been made" and no work is happening in the air space.

Geothermal and natural gas are NV Energy's future .Trump policy prompts NV Energy to seek escape hatch for would-be clean energy transmitters.

It is interesting that many of the green organizations will not oppose the Greenlink North project, but simply want to move it to I-80 where it will have more water to create wasteful data centers. Grenlink is already a dinosaur as solar won't run AI.

These articles don't tell the complete story when they ignore big energy sprawl. Over 100,000 acres of tortoise habitat has been removed by solar energy.

In the high desert east of Reno, Nevada, construction crews are flattening the golden foothills of the Virginia Range, laying the foundations of a data center city.

Here is another huge laydown yard bulldozed for the Greenlink West transmission line near Scotty's Junction, Nevada. This is being peddled as "good for the Earth" over planned industrial solar.

Industrial destruction east of Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge for the Greenlink West Transmission Project. Silent enviro groups don't seem to mind the 1,200 acre feet of water being used.

Just one example of the massive clearing that is being inflicted all over western Nevada for the Greenlink Wwst Transmission Line. This is a laydown area in Amargosa Valley and took out habitat for burrowing owls, endemic scorpions and tortoise.

RT @WLDdefense: Sierra Club preached Green Colonialism on public lands while tiptoeing around climate disaster meat. When they sent out pix….

It will never be easy to see this wasteful mine move forward and destroy the aquifer.
