NOT IN MY BACK YARD

Don't Spoil Our Desert With Solar Panels: “California's Mojave Desert may seem ideally suited for solar energy production, but concern over what several proposed projects might do to the aesthetics of the region and its tortoise population is setting up a potential clash between conservationists and companies seeking to develop renewable energy.”

"It would destroy the entire Mojave Desert ecosystem," said David Myers, executive director of The Wildlands Conservancy.

It would supply power to much of southern California, but tortises and aesthetics are much more important. In other words, put thesolar panels in someone else’s yard.
