BLM Cancels Mammoth Nevada Solar Project Under Trump’s Energy Agenda

Massive land requirements and a rollback of renewable energy projects highlight the project’s cancellation.

The Bureau of Land Management has pulled the plug on a massive Nevada solar power project, furthering the Trump administration’s crackdown on renewable energy projects. [emphasis, links added]


BLM on Thursday updated its planning website for the Esmeralda 7 project, stating that the agency’s environmental review has been “canceled.” The agency did not provide a reason for the cancellation.

The Esmeralda 7 Solar Project was meant to build seven solar power plants with battery energy storage on approximately 118,000 acres of BLM-managed public lands near Tonopah, Nevada.

It would have produced nearly 6.2 gigawatts, enough to power millions of homes.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

When I first saw the headline, I was embarrassed thinking I didn't know Black Lives Matter was in free enterprise. :whistle:
