I've almost no words to describe what Canadian mining giant Hudbay is doing to the Santa Rita Mountains near Tucson, AZ. The first 20 seconds show the Rosemont side, then the ridge line, then the west side. Hudbay plans to remove 2.5 miles of the ridge line. Mountain top removal.

Photo 1: Old Growth Mojave Desert on public lands between Tecopa, CA and Pahrump, NV. Then the Interior Department went ahead and approved the 3,000-acre Yellow Pine Solar boondoggle - and two more big projects are on the way at an additional 8,000 acres.

The Jean Lake Solar Project would be a 750 MW solar project on 4,500 acres in the Mojave Desert located in Hidden Valley just south of Las Vegas and on the foot of the McCullough Range. Great desert tortoise habitat. pucweb1.state.nv.us/PDF/AxIm…

The illegal shipping container wall currently being placed in the Coronado National Forest in Arizona by Gov Ducey and @AshBritt_News will destroy wildlife habitat where bear cubs like this cross regularly.

This is reckless and illegal behavior!
Awful scene from today — less than a mile from the #ArizonaTrail and within critical habitat for jaguars. AZ Gov @DougDucey continues to push his illegal shipping-container stunt. In a single week the makeshift wall has jumped from 16 to 110 container lengths — almost a mile.

Day 6 #NoSolarTax
The White House has estimated that the IRA will lead to an ADDITIONAL 930k homes going solar in CA over the next 10 years.
A bad NEM3 will mean saying no to over:
* 7.44GW of clean energy
* $22.32B added to the state GDP
* $6.7B in tax credits to Californians
So are we going to expand Las Vegas urban sprawl, or what?

We went from discovering what humans dumped in Lake Mead (bodies in barrels dumped by the mob), to discovering what humans dumped in the desert before we built the Hoover Dam and submerged hundreds of square miles of desert under newly-formed Lake Mead.

Breaking: Footage of AZ Gov. Doug Ducey's shipping container border wall being illegally placed on federal land in jaguar critical habitat. If completed 3,000 containers will stretch 10 miles and cost $95 million. That could buy 900,000 school books or 23 million school lunches.
Smart use of spaces in our cities !

The parking lot at Disneyland #Paris just went #solar. With over 67,000 #solarpanels it will be one of the largest solar canopys in Europe.
Shouldn't every parking lot get a #solarpower update? We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate
