I don't spend much time writing about former President Trump, or the Republican Party, more broadly. Here in California, Democrats rule the political roost, and they've made fighting the climate crisis a top priority. They're not doing nearly enough, and climate activists have criticized some of their decisions as counter-productive or unintentionally harmful. Even so, the debate is all about how we should be working to confront climate change, not whether we should be doing so.
Speaking of large private landowners, I was also fascinated to read this story by the Nevada Independent's Amy Alonzo about billionaire Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke trying to add 230,000 acres of federal land to a giant ranch he owns in Nevada, with speculation that solar development might be one of his aims.
