The 22 million acres they want to give away is an utter insult for public lands advocates everywhere. Just an industry fire sale of public lands. Creating a few BLM managed national monuments will never make up for this.

Only a few percent of the 22 million acres would be "given away" for solar development.
You don't have to like it, but you're not winning me over with your exaggeration.
@BasinRange
🌱Solar and wind should be developed in cities and towns where nature is already destroyed, not viceversa.
#KeepNature
Don't destroy any more nature for development.
@BasinRange
Obligatory mention that solar farms could easily just coat canals for a huge amount of savings but *utility companies* are fighting tooth and claw to avoid this to maximize profit margins.
That said, the situation+the admin's role in it is being exaggerated a bit here.

There are abandoned pit mines that could be converted! Mountain tops leveled and destroyed by mining could be used! Areas around landfills!
