Feinstein v Pipe’s Canyon

Make no mistake, the federal mandate will be met! Good stewardship of our resources demands it and dependence on foreign oil is breaking America’s back. One way or another 20% of our energy will come from renewable sources by year 2020 and California will see to it that 30% of its power is green by then. Unfortunately for us, Senator Feinstein Dem. Ca. has already locked up vast tracts of open desert to any such practical use as solar and wind farming and is now pushing a bill that...

Johnson Valley Improvement Association http://www.johnsonvalley.com/jvia.html OUTDATED STRATEGY Hi all, This is a comment on defects of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) based on the long lag time between the original training plans and the time the proposed base expansion was presented to the public, and the years since.
