Like the Harry Reid plan in NV? Looks like that one got cancelled. I wonder if the publicity killed it.
This links to a BLM doc, discussing solar zones. Need far more information here. Looks like accusations of Chinese solar deal and Reid's son is also being reported? Important to follow the money back.
If the BLM is successful it would affect many land owners along the Texas/Oklahoma border. The difference between this and the Bundy Ranch case is that this rancher has the deed to the land and has paid taxes on it for decades.
Funny how the left wastes so much time harassing innocent people who have not done anything wrong. Seems like they do everything except catch the bad guy. Watch the government seize that property unnecessarily and wind up using it for nothing. I just hope they don't.
Why won't the federal government put this kinda effort into keeping the illegals aliens from swimming across the river or climbing over the fence??? That stuff is just as illegal and done on a larger scale.
It seems to me there has to be a line of decision makers from the field office of the BLM to Harry Reid to the President?
The Gov. is not backing down and can not even give account why they are doing this. This Gov. is out of control. They are pressing their power because the Elections are right around the corner.
These are Ranchers for "God's Sake" not some Chemical Plant .
Sad Day, The Important Point is America is Watching and vocalizing Freedom!

Let me ask a question. You've all seen the TV news clips so you know what that land looks like. Let's say YOU own that land but you live in Wyoming. You have no structures on that land in Nevada. You have no current plans to use that land yourself. Would you mind if the neighboring rancher grazed his cattle on that property?
See, that's what I don't get. I wouldn't charge the guy next door to graze his cattle on land I wasn't using and that's in the middle of nowhere nor would I expect payment for him to do so. The way I see it, the cattle aren't destroying any plants or lawn, they aren't throwing garbage on the property, they aren't bringing in tourists...they aren't even eating the turtles. So, why should the govenment care? If later on down the road the NSA, for example, wants to put up a building and a huge parking lot on the land then maybe the US government would want to send the cows packing, but right now what is the big deal about grazing cattle in the middle of nowhere?
And BLM enforcement guys, you'd really shoot your neighbors over grazing cattle in the middle of nowhere? Is that the kind of person you are? Isn't this the time in the movie where the decent law enforcement guy turns to his boss and says, "I'm not killing my friends and their families over some land they've used for decades because the government wants it for some rich politician's land deal" and then he throws his badge on the desk of his boss and walks out.
First, it's federal land, not the "Bundy property". Second, the proposed solar plant is not on the "Bundy property" but is about 30-40 miles west and closer to Las Vegas.
