  1. Kennedy’s investments in this helps explain NRDC’s promotion of inappropriately sited “renewables”.

  2. Keep your eyes on the areas surrounding the Carrizo Plains National Monument in California’s San Luis Obispo county. There are already a couple of similar proposals on sensitive ground and it is less than 100 miles from this site. No big horns; just tule elk, kit foxes, burrowing owls and a host of other listed or threatened species.
