- “NIMBY? Really? That’s all that means? Why is that bad? Loving your backyard sounds like a good thing to me. I think this would be a much better world if everybody loved their back yard. My back yard has a lot of open space and wetlands. It supports a diversity of plant and animal species. This is my backyard.” A personal consideration of what we would/will give up in promoting solar and wind in “barren” areas of the U.S.
- A piece from the L.A. Times on Tim DeChristopher (now on Facebook), the young man who bid on all those public lands up for auction in Utah without any money to pay for them. Kind of a brilliant act of civil disobedience — the BLM will have to re-offer a lot of the parcels at a new auction, under a new president. In other words, they may not go back up for sale. Also amazing to see some of the quotes from gas companies about how they paid way more than what the parcels were worth. ORLY? Why’d you pay for them, then? The public leasing system is so fucked, but it’s not exactly top 10 priorities these days. Well, fear not. Those lands that were succfesully leased at DeChristopher’s auction have been temporarily blocked.
