We have seen this approach many times in the past. When this government
is given two choices, it will always pick the least intelligent one.
Hopefully, the next administration will reverse these decisions.

"Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the
federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar projects on
public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is
expected to take about two years."
"The Bureau of Land Management says an extensive environmental study is
needed to determine how large solar plants might affect millions of
acres it oversees in six Western states — Arizona, California,
Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah."
How asinine can government be. Let's see, on one hand we have a few
hundred square miles of desert, on the other we have survival ...
hmmmmm ... yep, we need a two year study to weigh that one.
