Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

I guess my point is that in the grand scheme of conservation issues this cut and ballroom switch is not as large as some of the other issues facing conservation currently. Half of the Western United States is slated to become wind and solar farms. As conservation issues go, we are about to lose millions of acres of habitat, public access, and public lands due to green net zero policies. With regard to conservation net zero policies and renewable energy a huge issue facing public land.

This is true for sure. We have a bunch of folks arguing about 1B for security (read the bill), and the obvious threat is right here in front of us. I have a close friend who works here (in the Great Falls office, which opened pretty recently), and subsidies aside, it's happening. Lots of wind and solar farms.

Getting off topic, but how much solar do you think we will see in MT on public land?
