Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

Local conservationist Patrick Donnelly drove east along the Loneliest Road in America, a ribbon of pavement in north central Nevada that deserves its name. Before him, sprawling in every direction, was a green-gray sagebrush basin so large you could probably plop Las Vegas in it and still have room to spare. Save for a stiff wind and the occasional cow bleat, a heavy silence sat on the valley. Not much moved aside from skittish grouse and a few scattered cars. This is a place, a big open hunk of public land, where humans haven’t made an intensive mark. 

At least not yet. In corporate conference rooms and government offices from Vegas to Washington, D.C., policymakers, executives and lobbyists are planning a very different future for valleys like this one. If their plans become reality, vast swaths of undeveloped land across Nevada could soon be crossed by towering transmission lines and studded with solar farms in the name of fighting climate change. 

The Biden administration has made an aggressive drive to permit 25 gigawatts of renewable energy on America’s federal lands by 2025, which the U.S. Department of the Interior says is enough to power 12 million homes. It surpassed that goal in April. In August this year, it also proposed a solar plan that would make more than 31 million acres of federal land across the American West available for potential solar development.

Even before Donald Trump’s victory in the November election, the Biden administration has been rushing to push through as many renewable energy projects as it can. Trump has promised to place more emphasis on oil and gas development, and at an October 2024 roundtable with Latino voters he criticized the impact that solar development has on the desert, saying “it’s all steel and glass and wires. It looks like hell. … And what it does to your desert areas or the areas that you are putting it, it’s just crazy.” Yet during Trump’s first term, his administration did approve a number of major solar projects on federal land, including the controversial Yellow Pine project near Pahrump, Nevada. And some experts doubt that he will completely roll back the ongoing renewable energy boom in the American West.

“I don’t think there is much of a difference between Trump and Biden on solar, renewables and public lands,” said Dustin Mulvaney, a professor and sustainable energy expert at San José State University. “The clean energy industry plays both sides in the election. Public lands for renewable energy has been pretty bipartisan.”

Nevada, where the federal government manages more than 80 percent of the land, is a key theater for such development—nearly 12 million acres are eligible for it under the Biden administration’s solar plan, approximately 17 percent of the state. More than one-third of the solar and wind proposals pending before the federal Bureau of Land Management nationwide, meanwhile, are located in Nevada. 

Donnelly, an environmental activist with the Center for Biological Diversity, is deeply troubled by this federally backed plan. He has spent years defending Nevada’s wild places and endangered animals from developers of all kinds—mining groups, oil and gas drillers, real estate firms and agricultural interests. But now he sees a major new threat at the hands of the renewable energy industry, whose growing power and presence was on display during his road trip. All across the state, solar farms, geothermal projects, lithium mines, transmission lines and more are being planned on undeveloped public lands. 

“We are talking about a fundamental transformation of the American West,” said Donnelly.

"What the hell are otter pops?!" You say. Well,

Meet the Otters!

Sir Isaac Lime is a brilliant otter-space scientist and he has the British accent to prove it. A jovial supergenius who loves a good joke, Sir Isaac can unlock the mysteries of the universe but he can’t find his car keys. He’s a whimsical whiz kid in a quirky grandpa’s body with his own catchphrase, “Look for the stars in the eyes of others.”

A lifelong researcher, Sir Isaac encourages kids to keep their imaginations alive and ask every question under the sun because “life would be boring if we ran out of questions.”

With his trusty telescope, Sir Isaac brings the wonders of the cosmos into view and shares them with us through pictures. He loves making guest appearances at planetariums, and is an ardent supporter of solar power.

Brilliant, benevolent, and beloved by all, Sir Isaac is Cosmic Coconut’s #1 hero! And the feeling is mutual. Sir Isaac sees a special spark in Cosmic. He shares his research with her, and in return she shares her dreams.

Louie-Bloo Raspberry is a gentle soul, with a lilting French accent who says, “Follow your heart because there’s art in it.” He’s a creative genius with his own web channel where he shows us how to make everything from cool T-shirt designs, to glow-in-the-dark bikes, and hand-crafted sweet nothings.

This guy is a true innovator who sees art everywhere and shows us that there’s more than one way to look at the world. The only thing Louie-Bloo likes more than art is Strawberry Short Kook. He doesn’t let a day go by without giving her a flower.

“Louie-Bloo Sees the Artist in You” is the title of his theme song which was written by Poncho Punch, and performed by DJ Tropicool.

Strawberry Short Kook is an Otter-winning actor turned movie mogul. Now, she makes her own movies and calls the shots at her own major studio, Otternational Pictures. Kook specializes in working with strong female writers and directors, giving them a spotlight to shine.

As a child, Kook dreamed of being an actress but her road to success wasn’t an easy one. While in school, she felt left out and had low self-esteem because she was so short. But she never lost sight of her dream, and after years of waiting tables she got her big break, and the rest, as Alexander the Grape says, is history.

When Kook isn’t in the boardroom making multi-picture deals, or on the red carpet making star-studded appearances, she supports Lil’s animal rescue work, enjoys yoga classes, and loves having everyone over for dinner. But she doesn’t like to cook. She lets Louie Bloo do that. He loves to cook and he’s the best chef around.

Alexander the Grape is a whimsical “odder” and wanna-be time traveler who is absolutely fascinated and overjoyed by the origin of everything. From the history of ketsup to the origin of the high-five, this toga-clad history buff knows it all! And shares it all with wide-eyed enthusiasm!

A lovebale eccentric, he wears a toga because it’s comfy and he wears a laurel wreath on his head because he won it in a trivia game where he knew that fireworks began as a cooking accident in ancient China. Wacky and wonderful, Alexander is an amazing storyteller whom the other otters love to bits. Especially Lil, DJ, and Cosmic. They love him like a favorite uncle and are glued to every word of his magical tales of yesteryear.

Anita was blown away to learn that the high-five was created by a women’s volleyball team in 1961. “Cool that!” Louie Bloo was amazed to learn that Leon-otter DaVinci created scissors. “How cutting edge!” And Major Mango absolutely adores Alexander’s voluminous tales of the Otterman Empire. “Who doesn’t?”

Poncho Punch is a brilliant song writer and musician on a quest to discover the world’s most unusual musical instruments. And there are a ton of them! He prefers acoustical instruments but doesn’t shy away from the occasional electronic oddity. Poncho is a global music ambassador who celebrates diversity and the never-ending rhythm of fun.

When not strumming his guitar at Kook’s dinner parties, or accompanying Lil, Poncho hits the road for adventure, visiting cultures far and wide and making great friends everywhere he goes. “Hola, amigo!” Being multi-lingual helps on his quest. He speaks fluent English and Spanish.

As Poncho dives into every culture on Earth, he explores their customs, their dances, and their traditional-wear aka how they fiesta! As Poncho plays their wonderful instruments in jam sessions galore, he records his beats and brings them home to DJ Tropicool who mixes them into hit dance songs.

Little Orphan Orange likes to be called Lil and she wants you to know that she’s not frowning, that’s just how she smiles*! With Melon Collie by her side, she smiles a lot. Especially when she paints his toenails pink. It tickles, and Melon Collie’s laugh is infectious. These two are quite a pair. They crack each other up and always see the good in others.

A true lover of all animals, Lil may be small but her heart is as big as an elephant. She spends her days helping animals in need, and spends her nights singing them to sleep. She has a lovely voice, and likes to accompany Poncho Punch on his guitar.

Innocent and kind, Lil sees the world through pure kid logic. With her adorable chalky-sounding voice, she asks the questions that all kids want answered. Does the tooth fairy visit a shark a thousand times? How do you give a fish a bath? Do fancy cats use glitter boxes? Her friend and mentor, Strawberry Short Kook, says, “Yes, fancy cats do use glitter boxes.” And Kook should know. She works in ottertainment.

(My apologies if these pictures look huge to you, I downsized them and for some reason that was worse)

Ghosting Christmas Present, Ch. 1

NicoMaki, Love Live, 1.5K, 1/?

Summary: One All Hallow's Eve, Idol Nico Yazawa finds herself at a Diamond Princess concert, in the audience, screaming out the choruses to angsty, anti elite punk rock anthems, and then later, backstage, hearing the singer scream out more personal anthems. But then the great Nico Ni is ghosted. Meanwhile, in effort to cheer up their sulking daughter, the ultra rich Nishikino family hire Nico Ni to perform at their annual charity concert. Hi jinks and shenanigans ensue.

Chapter One: Haunted

Nico Yazawa had never experienced a night like it before. Never seen anyone like her, never heard anything like this music, never been in a crowd reacting like absolutely everyone , INCLUDING NICO, was mad DRENCHED for the woman onstage.

Now Nico, Nico was not modest and fans, fans LOVED Nico Ni. But this, this was a hot pot, a room crammed with women femmes butches enbies anyone in hearing range all SCREAMING THEMSELVES RAW, throwing every thing, every limb, every loose article of clothing forward, a siege (where did Nico remember that word from) against this music wall, this rock fortress, this sexy smirk of a solar flare spike haired punk rock goddess assaulting every ignorant adult, every speak no hear no see no evil sellout with a molotov cocktail bouquet of songs, lyrics hammered into bullets and blades, collecting pain, crafting a cacophony. Nico's whole body reverbed, vibrating like a slicing guitar string, dizzy from dissonance, shaking from proximity to the emotional explosion that was Diamond Princess. And eyes, behind tinted glasses, that locked onto Nico's with a magnetic pull, never looking away.

And now, was that, was Nico hearing a screaming punk take on Mariah Carey's Christmas kick off classic, a month too soon, Nico rushing the stage, caught in the moment, everything reaching out to her, everything bright…everything and yes, Nico was saying that a lot but this room bursting with overwhelming asks, everything was happening too soon, too fast, too sudden.

And then Nico was backstage, not following anyone but hearing, really hearing a call that might have been on her wavelength alone because nobody got Nico like Nico but somehow this Diamond Princess was Nico's tonight. Nico stepped inside a small room, locked the door behind her, and the lights stayed low and Nico couldn't really see anything but the spiky hair was soft and the skin under the studded leather belt was softer and Nico, Nico had never ever before been aware of this danger, that her hands, her lips were biting, burning through a fuse to free an explosion that had been building for…. A scream, throat raw, and a whisper, sweet and shy, both would haunt, taunt, jaunt Nico, hiss in her ear, kiss a frisson of memory down her neck, tear her out of sleep, trigger longings that could not be satisfied alone, not with Nico Ni back on the road in concert and the Diamond Princess, shutting herself back in her tower, hiding away, monster again.

###

Working at home wasn't ideal for Nico, she missed random hallway chats, but with concerts coming up, she couldn't afford exposure to Covid. So to prep for her December dates, she went into the office a couple of days a week, the recording studio when needed, but mostly worked from her apartment's living room. With her manager Nozomi Tojo in residence when she wasn't needed at the label.

Slumping back against the couch, Nico pulled her headphones off, "Can you even do Christmas anymore?"

Nozomi leaned forward, closing her laptop, "What do you mean?"

Nico raised her hands, half counting on her fingers, half stretching, "People dying, planet's burning, genocides R Us in three or more locations, assassinations, everyone's hangry, smad, and exhausted." Nico sat up, "So can you even do Christmas anymore?"

"Well, you have a contractual obligation to."

""Maybe if Nico believed in something…" Nico muttered.

"What do you mean?"

"If Nico were religious, then Nico could be all "O holy Night, O silent night, What child is this, God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay."

"But you're dismayed and not religious."

Nico groaned. "Best I got is some gay apparel."

Nozomi giggled.

Nico frowned, "But then there's fast fashion too. Did you see "Buy Now? Nico's breaking out her knitting needles for presents. Darn everyone's socks."

The sudden onset of frustrated, frazzled Nico puzzled Nozomi. Nico had been surfing easily through Year 5 of the Nico Ni Plan to Seize Fame and Fortune and Hit Number One on every chart before she hit 25. Now though, it seemed like Seasonal Affectative Disordered had gloomed into town too soon. But Nico had been productive all month, after her mini break…Nozomi's gossip radar tingled.

"Did something happen on Halloween?"

"No."

"So she still won't return your calls."

"Nico never said anything about…" Nico growled and pushed to her feet, "Nico is going for coffee. What's the name of this town?"

"Chicago is not a town."

"You know what I mean, Nozy."

"It's on the lake, Otonizoka Falls."

"Maybe Nico needs to take a day trip. Scout out the scene."

"When are we going?"

"Nico is going alone."

"No, Nico is not." Nozomi stood, "I don't trust you in this mood. You worry me."

"Nico isn't stupid."

"Doesn't mean you don't need a wingwoman. Or an over coffee Tarot reading."

"Fine. But Nico's driving."

###

Maki Nishikino didn't have the energy for this. Waking up, wrapped in luxury linen sheets, in a bedroom as big as a studio apartment, protected by acres of lakeside property, her parents expecting her promptly at breakfast, dressed in business casual, prepared to take positions on issues affecting Nishikino Industrials like it was a briefing for the C suite.

Instead, Maki would wake up breathless, panting, sheets clinging from sweat, remembering that night in October when her audience had been more alive than they had ever been, when she had seen HER there, ruby eyes sharp and seeking, turning a crowd of strangers into an intimate emotional exchange, the intensity of a never wavering piercing gaze, her name on glistening lips, her lyrics sung back with power, her eagerness magnified, her aching met. How could Maki think about anything but that night, process anything but how much she ached to be lost like that again?

And Nico had called the club, asking for her number. But Maki couldn't be that person without her guitar, without music, without a mask.

In the bathroom, she scrubbed her face with cold water to wake up, avoiding the mirror except to adjust her wig. Her parents didn't need to see the shortness of the cut or the the pink streaks. Button down light blue oxford tucked into pinstriped charcoal gray skirt, a gray cardigan as an extra layer against her parents noticing the tattoo on her right inner forearm, Nico Ni's chibi rabbit logo.

She'd slept in a little late. As if to rep her mood, the weather had been mostly gray. With no sunlight there had been even less incentive to open her eyes. Maki expected a scolding when she got to the dining room table, her parents at the far end, picture perfect food produced by the probably not overpaid professional chef arrayed before them.

"Good morning, Maki. Did you get any sleep?" A friendly tone from her mother.

Maki faked a smile, "Yes, Mama."

Her father coughed, then almost sounded kind. But Maki knew it was only kindness for those quietly in their cages.

"We know you've been having a rough time since winter break started."

And before that since your grades were dismal and your premed classes dropped was left unsaid.

"So we arranged a Christmas present."

Maki found herself with her arms protecting her torso, left thumb rubbing the cheerful icon inked into her skin. She kicked herself for the thrill she'd felt at the word present. She needed to get herself away from the headspace where her parents generosity was a boon.

"What?" Her voice sounded flat. Her parents exchanged a glance.

"That singer you like. Nico Ni? We've hired her for the island's Christmas Eve charity concert."

Oh fuck no. Maki almost tripped, reaching for a chair to steady herself.

Her mother laughed, "I told you she'd be excited."

"No it's…" Maki struggled for words,

"This will be good for you. Invite your friends. Maybe look up some people from high school. Have some fun with people your own age."

People who hate me because my parents are private jet flying, climate destroying robber barons, Maki thought bitterly.

"Mama!"

"Now don't worry, Maki. Nico's manager said singers do private concerts all the time. And Nico Ni seems to be quite popular. We'll raise a lot of money for our foundation."

Their foundation. To pay for medical conferences in fancy hotels and trips to Davos to persuade donors over expensive Michelin star meals. Maki could have spit. Nico would be paid, like any other employee, and what would she think and she'd never believe and Maki…

Her parents were suddenly on either side of her.

"We'll be in Chicago for the week. Do whatever you want about decorating the tree. Have fun. Dust off your piano or something." Her father talking like her music was a toy or a diversion, a thing to be taken up lightly and tossed aside at a whim. Music was life. He was a doctor, He'd listened to heartbeats, the thrum of blood, the rhythm of breath. How could he not know better.

"Call us if you need anything." Her mother waved. The door shut.

Maki's mind went dark as she fell into the chair. Nico. Here.

"no"

A/N: Here we go.
