Scenic Views and Wildlife Are Threatened at Southwestern Parks

Click Here to Send Your Comments! Dear Reader, Although improvements have been made, a revised federal solar energy plan for the American Southwest could allow industrial-scale projects along the boundaries of our national parks. This action could cut off wildlife corridors, harm scenic vistas, and destroy important habitat for wildlife like bighorn sheep, desert tortoises, and golden eagles. We can't let this happen. Tens of thousands of advocates urged the Department of Interior to limit solar development to low impact solar energy zones and also spoke out against developing these zones next to national parks. Your voices were heard, and many zones near national parks were eliminated or reconfigured to protect these special places! Despite that important victory, the latest proposal would unfortunately allow solar projects to be sited adjacent to our southwestern parks outside of the low impact solar energy zones we all worked so hard to create. Take  Action: Act today and tell the Departments of Energy and the Interior that you support solar energy development, but not at the expense of national park resources, including sensitive wildlife that roam across the landscape to find water, food, and mates. Thank you for speaking up for our desert national parks and the wildlife that inhabits them. Future generations will appreciate your action today! Sincerely, David Lamfrom Sr. Program Manager, California Desert Share this on Facebook    Share this on Twitter This message was sent by the National Parks Conservation Association.

Senate Blocks Eminent Domain For Northern Pass - Politics News Story - WMUR New Hampshire

Senate Blocks Eminent Domain For Northern Pass - Politics News Story - WMUR New Hampshire

New Protections For Property Owners Added To Bill

POSTED: 2:42 pm EST January 25, 2012
UPDATED: 6:01 pm EST January 25, 2012

CONCORD, N.H. -- The state Senate on Wednesday passed a bill that would prevent the controversial Northern Pass power transmission project from taking property by eminent domain.

The near-unanimous measure combines language in the state constitution and existing law to guarantee private property rights against private acquisition.

"While public purposes sometimes require the taking of private property by eminent domain as a last resort, it is completely inappropriate that New Hampshire citizens should live in fear of taking by private projects for private gain," said Sen. Jeanie Forrester, R-District 2.

The Northern Pass project would bring electrical power to New England by cutting a transmission line through New Hampshire. Opponents of the $1 billion project who do not want to sell their land have been concerned the company could ultimately take the property through eminent domain.

"This is our land," said Karen Placey, who owns land in West Stewartstown. "This is something that means something to us, and that's it. We don't want to sell. We don't want it taken, so I feel good about this today."
