Fourteen (14) New Permits -- North Dakota -- December 29, 2014

Breaking news! This is strange. I posted this story the about Ivanpah solar farm back on November 17, 2014.  The identical story -- an AP -- story is printed in today's Los Angeles Times. Very, very interesting. What was the editorial reason for publishing this story in today's Los Angeles Times; the story has been out for at least a month. Hmmm ... inquiring minds want to know. My hunch is that the story line does support the LA Times cultish belief in global warming and were conflicted about whether to publish the story.
