“[Harry] Reid’s push for solar energy development in southern Nevada included attendance last month at a groundbreaking ceremony for a solar power facility that involves the Moapa Band of Pauites and First Solar Inc.,” said the KLAS-TV report. “But that 250-megawatt power plant will be roughly 35 miles southwest of the Bundy Ranch.

according to the map on page two
roughly 35 miles southwest of the Bundy Ranch.
is somewhat roughly in the middle of the big orange splash that says "Bundy's cattle grazing around here"
Published on Apr 14, 2014
There are some very powerful people who have done their best to cover up what really happened at the Bundy ranch in Clark County Nevada. Fortunately they failed.
Rory Reid appeared on KSNV's What's Your Point with host Jeff Gillan and told Gillan that Bundy should be prosecuted:
"He is not victim and he’s not a hero. He’s been using that he doesn’t own for over 20 years and he didn’t pay. He broke the law. There are hundreds of ranchers throughout Nevada that conduct their profession honorably. There’s thousands of them throughout the country and when they have a dispute with the BLM they try to work it out.
Reid continued, "I think most people care about their reputation and I think he’s been exposed as somebody that has broken the law. The Nevada Cattlemen Association, which is the trade organization that advocates for cattlemen in the state of Nevada—not even they support Cliven Bundy at this point. We believe in a country in which we are subject to laws and you cant just ignore the laws we don’t like. I think clearly if state and local prosecutors look at this more closely, they’re going to find that he broke the law and he should be prosecuted."
Additionally, Reid was critical of BLM's inability to conduct a successful operation in Bunkersville saying, "The BLM shouldn’t have started this if they couldn’t develop a plan to finish it successfully.

No, the SEZ is outside the area where the cattle have been grazing.
This post has a map that shows the different areas.

No, it was not debunked.
The map with the big sloppy circle covers more area than the actual perimeter of the Gold Butte ACEC. It is even labeled "General vicinity".
Still, if you take a close look at that map you will see that the SEZ is still outside that circle.

Wrong all wrong.
It's all about the water.

What is your point?
None of that contradicts the map that Olivine posted.

If you thought there were water wars brewing before, just wait. The sun is often touted as a fantastic source of energy, which it is, but there's a hitch: Many solar projects consume enormous amounts of water. How much water are we talking? According to a recent New York Times article, proposed plans for two solar farms in Nevada would gulp up 1.3 billion gallons of water annually--or 20 percent of the area's available water. And the worst thing is this heavy water use in renewable energy projects is all about the bottom line.High-Profit Solar Technology Devours Water
The Genesis Solar Energy Project would consume an estimated 536 million gallons of water a year, while the Mojave Solar Project would pump 705 million gallons annually for power-plant cooling, according to applications filed with the California Energy Commission.
Construction of renewable energy projects has revealed some serious environmental issues that will have to be dealt with as we speed toward a clean energy future. We recently wrote about the conflict between land conservation efforts and renewable energy projects in deserts out west. Land that is ideal for solar energy production is also pristine land in need of protection

Yeppers.
Solar+water= 'makes sense' !
There are many questions that need to be asked. Such as, who ordered the initial raid? Why did Clark County sell land to ENN at far below its fair value? Who ordered the BLM show of force? Why did the BLM impose a no-fly zone over the Bundy Ranch so the media could not get video or photographs of what was going on?
