I added the emphasis on “solar plants” for a reason. You will understand momentarily. Just remember that the Associated Press reports that the desert tortoise can not coexist with solar plants. I have no idea why they made this distinction but I find it extremely ironic. Yesterday we reported two possible scenarios on why the Bureau of Land Management really wanted to drive Cliven Bundy, and his cattle, from this land. The first possibility was fracking and the second was the vast wealth of minerals in the area. Either is a possibility for big money and neither story should be discounted. But, as reported yesterday by the AP, there may be a third possibility that involves a death sentence to the desert tortoise as well as a further erosion of America’s wealth. It is being reported that Harry Reid, and his son Rory, have been dealing with the Chinese to construct a solar farm and solar panel manufacturing plant on these very lands that are supposedly being protected for the sake of the desert tortoise. AP reports: Now, questions surrounding family ties are flaring again in Nevada around the Senate majority leader. He and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert. Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helpingrecruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his politicalmuscle on behalf of the project in Nevada. His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission. Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the non-partisan advocacy group Public Citizen, said the senator is dealing with “an iffy ethical landscape” because of the family connections and should recuse himself from the project. “Is this just happening because… it benefits the Reid family, or did Harry Reid actually believe in this?” Holman said. The senator has supported numerous clean energy projects in Nevada. Rory Reid cites energy as one of his specialty areas at the law firm. There are plenty of reasons to be disturbed by this story. Not only is the fate of the desert tortoise being deliberately jeopardized by such a project, but this would seem to be just another attempt to sell America to the Chinese. To see these things transpire, while continuing to line the pockets of another corrupt politician, is just more than anyone’s palate can take. Yes America, your g
