Sen. Dianne Feinstein blocks solar power plant construction in Mojave Desert. This is one of those moves that makes people wonder if the whole climate change crisis isn't really that serious, if we can't even build alternative energy plants in California in a desert! Especially ones that were ready to begin, but have now been scuttled thanks to Dianne. This reminds me of the Kennedy family blocking the wind farm construction on Cape Cod, and ironically, Patrick Kennedy offers his opposition to Sen Feinstein's actions in the linked article. This is all very entertaining to me...
