Nevada community hopes Trump will slow expansion of solar farms in their area

Nevada's wide-open high desert isn't the first place you'd think of for a vineyard, but third-generation farmer Mark Hartman is giving new meaning to the term dry wine on land that's been in his family for 50 years. But he sees a looming threat on the horizon in the form of solar farms.

The Federal Bureau of Land Management greenlit seven massive solar projects in the area that, combined, would cover an area about the size of Las Vegas. The so-called Esmeralda 7 would produce enough electricity to power roughly 1.6 million average homes — that's more homes than there are in the city of Los Angeles.

"Everyone is united against the size that's being proposed," Hartman told CBS News. "It would permanently alter the wildlife and migration."
