re:"Windmills and huge solar panels could be set up all through Nevada except for a few places, southern Utah, eastern Oregon, much of eastern California and parts of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. There are vast stretches where very little wildlife can survive" You have mentioned huge tracts of land, and offered absolutely no documentation, or a shred of evidence for your claims. Just because an animal faces much greater challenges to survive, doesn't mean that a desert species is more deserving to face extinction due to human development - than animals elsewhere. Much of Eastern California is protected, and considered by Previous Administrations as deserving protection from development - including the Clinton Administration, which protected well over a million acres of the Mojave from development. The Mojave: National Parks and reserves: Death Valley - 3.3 million acres Joshua Tree - 800 thousand acres Mojave National Preserve - 1.5 million acres National forests: Angeles National Forest - 650 thousand acres San Bernadino National Forest - 660 thousand acres National Landmarks and areas Trona Pinnacles Rainbow Basin Amboy Crater Harper Dry Lake State Parks Mitchell Caverns Saddleback Butte Red Rock Canyon Vasquez Rocks Calico Ghost Town Mojave Narrows Devil's Punchbowl Poppy Reserve
