And imagine the impacts on the pollution levels when 1200 acres are scraped of vegetation for the LADWP Southern Owens Valley Solar Ranch project. Vegetation die-off from overpumping has already increased the occurrence of extreme pollution days. We don’t need another barren landscape that will contribute even more dust.
A, thanks for pointing that out. Don’t think it has been brought up here before. 2400 acres if you count Northland project.
