The way things are developing soon 29 palms will be become a city of commercial solar farms and commercial over-flow for the Park glam campgrounds.

they are consuming all the land zoned residential and soon there will be NO neighborhoods of homes lived in by residents.

I'm appalled at this project. Profiteering corporations are already eating up the Mojave, its wildlife, incredible skies and silence. How can we best fight this? Who are our political allies in this battle?

Why are our most precious desert resources seemingly under constant attack from every carpet bagger and their backers with a 'gosh darned great plan'? Oh and now somehow the state is backing the play. 'Got lobbyists anyone'. Say 'Rooftop solar' everyone! I hope the council will find a way to manage this without giving in to these bullying tactics. The only reason we don't have rooftop solar is because the utilities don't want it and neither do folks like this group that stand to make a killing.
