These people are unbelievable! They make it impossible for us to drill for oil. They blather on and on about using renewable resources but they keep limiting where they allow them to be. Not off the coast of the Cape because that would effect the view of the Kennedys and now they want to make it impossible to use them in the Mojave Desert because they don’t want to destroy the aesthetics of the desert:

California’s Mojave Desert may seem ideally suited for solar energy production, but concern over what several proposed projects might do to the aesthetics of the region and its tortoise population is setting up a potential clash between conservationists and companies seeking to develop renewable energy.
Nineteen companies have submitted applications to build solar or wind facilities on a parcel of 500,000 desert acres, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Friday such development would violate the spirit of what conservationists had intended when they donated much of the land to the public.
Feinstein said Friday she intends to push legislation that would turn the land into a national monument, which would allow for existing uses to continue while preventing future development.

These people need to go. We are idiots for continuing to allow them to have control over our energy resources.
