They’re finding a lot more tortoises than they expected at Ivanpah. A lot. Now is a very good time for the BLM and CEC to be made aware of public sentiment in favor of the tortoise.

Sign here.

   Thanks Chris.  I signed the petition and put it on my facebook site.  Am considering ways to build it into an article on my writing blog (I actually have already written an article “Alternative Energy is Not Always Green” on my blog.

   Caribou. Lots of them. Thundering across the Mojave. That’s what we need to make the Sierra Club care.

   17 just along the tortoise fence line: more than half the total projected in all of Phase 1.

   I have a report that a tortoise was killed onsite yesterday. Will pass along news as I hear more that’s verifiable.
