#GiveThemBackTheirLand

[@gabrielalarcon8116]

My opinion is better if they give the land back to the Natives 🌞

Beautiful story in our own backyard

A horrific mistake. Way too much land removed from future access. The loss of 200000+ acres of potential solar electric generation land will be seen as a huge mistake.

[@mcaffee]

The much more horrific mistake is the attitude that we can disrupt the balance of nature with our hubris. At the CURRENT rate of human development, there won't be any wilderness or forest left in 50 years. Stop the assault on the planet. Wake up.

Oh well yall can always go to Europe

There’s certain magnetic fields and areas in which solar panels are not ideal. Surges… lol go ahead. Put some panels up there and see. You’ll be replacing equipment frequently.

We must preserve native sacred sites. White man has done enough damage in the name of progress for greed. Try for once using less energy.

[@bms9144]

Covering areas of beautiful desert with ugly solar farms is just a travesty.

Certainly not a fan of graffiti on petroglyphs, but one might say they are also graffiti on nature no different to the rock they were put on.

[@grottorabbit]

Climate Change 🙄 Play Biden's whole speech!😂 ✌🏼probably✌🏼 at 4:04 & 5:31 ✌🏼I don't think✌🏼 at 6:58 Petroglyphs = Vintage Graffiti I bet she's never waddled out there without cameras!

[@merridithbramble5966]

Yikes. Not a bright one here. Biden’s speech about climate change? Have you also played with your shapes and blocks today. The disrespect. That woman more than waddled onto that land without cameras. But you sure didn’t.
