Certain lands (such as parks, critical wildlife habitats, and wilderness quality lands) and ecologically sensitive areas in the oceans are not appropriate for energyenergy. In some of these areas, energyenergy is prohibited or limited by law or energy, in others it would be highly controversial. NRDC does not endorse locating energy facilities or transmission lines in such areas. And in all cases, siting decisions must be made extremely carefully, impacts must be mitigated and operations conducted in an environmentally responsible manner.
For more information on the intersection between clean energyenergy and wildland and wildlife energy in the American West, including locations of parks, wildlife refuges and other energy areas, see this Google Earth-based feature.
