They are saying Harry Reid recently modified the boundaries of the reserve to seize the territory for a sweetheart deal to build a solar power farm with some Chinese firm that his son had ties to - and that Harry didn't want a pile of dead bodies associated with his names, which is why he had the BLM withdraw.

We can only hope this isn't the case - but I don't put corruption outside the realm of possibility on either side of the political isle.

Yet, it's one of the most popular sites on the web for news - so like it or not, this is what we have to contend with.

We've already seen that ignoring them isn't enough, they need to be debunked - which I expect should occur here shortly over the next few days.

And it involved the proposed purchase of Clark County (not federal) land 180 miles from Bundy's ranch on the other side of Las Vegas.


Company dumps big Laughlin solar project, says market won’t support it

By Conor Shine
Published Friday, June 14, 2013

A Chinese-backed company is pulling the plug on a multibillion-dollar solar project near Laughlin after it was unable to find customers for the power that would have been generated there, a Clark County spokesman said Friday.

In a letter dated Friday, an executive from ENN Mojave Energy LLC informed the county that the company was terminating its agreement to purchase 9,000 acres near Laughlin, stating that the “market will not support a project of this scale and nature at this time.”

The company, a subsidiary of ENN Group, described as the largest energy company in China, said it was unable to sign the necessary power purchase agreements to sell the energy generated from the solar plant to utilities in Nevada or neighboring states.

When the plan was initially pitched to commissioners, developers said they planned to first build a solar panel factory followed by a massive solar energy plant on land 90 miles south of Las Vegas.
