I'm interested to hear more about Harry Reid and his son's part in this.
It's Harry, Rory, Solar Energy giants, public land being sold for pennies on the dollar for solar, the solar companies paying millions of dollars to BLM for mitigation, the players in this are endless.
And all this information is out there. I've put up links out the whazoo over the current "pay to play" renewable energy scheme the Feds have come up with.
Basically, the developer like Ivanpah can trash out the land they bought with a few restrictions just to make it look good to conservation groups providing they pay the BLM enough buckolas to invest in making another area of a certain state "more environmentally sustainable".
Like I said it's pay to play on a grand scale.
Here's just a quick link to how all this mess in Nevada goes back to the Reid family. Oh and with them, it's China.
They are working with the Chinese and selling out the desert.

Posting on the fly this morning but just check my posts.
All links are solid. I have triple checked all sources.
From the article and this should piss off any American. And if you smell dirty, you are smelling a Reid.
Rory Reid acknowledged representing ENN at both the county and state levels since January. He declined to discuss the project otherwise.
Two months after Harry Reid's China trip, Lionel Sawyer registered ENN Mohave Energy LLC as an American subsidiary of the Chinese company. The firm negotiated with the county to buy the land rather than lease it, as the county's staff had recommended.
In December, Clark County commissioners voted unanimously to sell up to 9,000 acres of public land to the subsidiary at pennies on the dollar.
The deal spurred local controversy. Separate appraisals valued the land at $29.6 million and $38.6 million.
The commission agreed to sell it to ENN for $4.5 million.
