What about being concerned that the feds own 84% of Nevada?

Does being concerned about that make me a bit loony?

And what if it turns out to be true that they're trying to clear the land now to sell it to a Chinese company? That doesn't sound like stewardship of the land for public purposes at all...

Can someone explain to me why people are siding with Bundy when he has not payed his grazing fees for over 20 years, has lost twice in court already, and apparently thinks the federal government has no authority?

I fall way more on the conservative side, but I'm having a hard time seeing how anyone can support this guy. Is it because of the Chinese solar company?

Won't the land be used to provide energy to the public?

ETA: I took a tour of Hoover Dam over the winter and the guide was saying that there is less and less water to power the turbines. Eventually, there won't be enough water to turn them at all. Could just be a way to prepare for a potential energy crisis.
