The Bureau of Land Management whose director was Sen. Harry Reid(D-Nev) former senior advisor, has purged documents from their website stating that the agency wanted Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's cattle of the land his family worked for over 140 years to make way for a solar panel power stations(there are screenshots provided in the article)
Though deleted by BLM.gov but reposted on Free Republic's website, the BLM document entitled "Cattle Trespass Impacts" directly states that Bundy's cattle "impacts" solar development, more specifically the construction of "utility-scale solar power generation facilities on "public lands"
"Non- Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Solar Lake Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle" the document states
Another report from the BLM entitled Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Zone (BLM Technical Note 444) reveals Bundy's land in question is within the "Dry Lake Solar Zone and surrounding area" which is part of a broad U.S Department of Energy program for "Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States" on land managed by the BLM
"In 2012, the BLM and the U.S Department of Energy published the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement(PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States" the report reads. "The Final Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement assessed the impact
of a utility-scale solar energy development on public lands in the six southwestern states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah"
and the report shows: "The Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments/ Record of Decision(ROD) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States implemented a comprehensive solar energy program for public lands in those states and incorporated land use allocations and programmatic and SEZ-specific design into land use plans in the six-state study area"
Back in 2012, the New American reported that Harry Reid's son Rory Reid was the chief rep for this Chinese energy firm that was planning on building a $5 billion dollar solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada
and journalist Marcus Stern of Reuters also reported that Sen. Reid was heavily involved with this deal as well as he wrote: [Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant
in the southern Nevada desert. Reid has been one of the project's most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project.
His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000
square acre(3,600 hectares) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission"
So this was never about the turtle after all. This was about stealing a guy's land and handing it over to special interests as Dana Loesch wrote: "A tortoise isn't the reason why the BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher, they want his land. The tortoise wasn't of a concern when [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid worked with the BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoise's habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore"
She later added: "Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land(already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests. BLM has proven they've a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they've had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area" "If only Clive Bundy were a big Reid donor"
So there you have it you folks, using a turtle to hand over this guy's land so special interests can develop the land for renewable energies projects and they had no problem waiving their rules to Harry Reid and the Chinese government... THIS IS AGENDA 21!!!!!!!
