According to the map she provides on her site it’s not that huge of an area.

And several of the provisions speeding solar projects would be very helpful in overcoming obstacles.

Given her unblemished renewable energy and climate voting history, I’m not going to join the bashathon till I see evidence of malfeasance there.

Oh, and “hi” to Scott – and thanks for linking to my site.

It is a bashathon, Susan, and I’m not quite sure why it’s happening. Perhaps, in addition to all the usual reasons, it’s that we’ve become so polarized that one must either be against solar power or, if for it, must not have any conditions put on it — conditions such as protecting endangered species, wilderness, etc. It’s as if we’re putting ourselves prematurely into triage mode.
