So it is possible that the federal government is driving Bundy off federal
lands to make way for mitigation activities that enable the solar energy
development to the north.

But I don’t think it is necessary to go
there.

Rather–this is the second and more important point–it is obvious
that some activities are favored by the Obama administration’s BLM, and others
are disfavored.

The favored developments include solar and wind
projects.

No surprise there: the developers of such projects are
invariably major Democratic Party donors.

Wind and solar energy
survive only by virtue of federal subsidies, so influencing people like Barack
Obama and Harry Reid is fundamental to the developers’ business
plans.

Ranchers, on the other hand, ask nothing from the federal
government other than the continuation of their historic rights.

It is
a safe bet that Cliven Bundy is not an Obama or Reid contributor
