This was a welcome bit of news to stumble over.
Back in June, I told you all about a YUGE wind farm project the Bureau of Land Management had their sticky fingers in planned for federal land in an isolated section of Idaho.
As originally planned, the wind farm project christened “Lava Ridge” was going to be built on almost 200,000 acres in southern Idaho. Most of those would federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
…The Lava Ridge Wind Project would consist of 400 turbines up to 740 feet in height and the associated infrastructure, including new roads, powerlines, substations, maintenance facilities and battery storage facilities. It would be located 25 miles northeast of Twin Falls.
The government bureaucrats were under the impression that, since they controlled all that land, it would be pretty much a done deal. One rarely wins against them if they’re crazy…
