Yes, It should be. I think it is okay because nothing will really happen to the tortoise. And it helps a lot f us like. If it powers our homes their wont be much trouble.
I strongly disagree with building power plants in the tortoise's habitat. Since they are rare,we should give them more land. We could build the power plants somewhere else instead of taking away land of a rare animal. We can move the power plant's location but, we can't move the tortoise because if we move them to a place they couldn't adapt, they could die from lack of basic needs. Such as water.
I do not think that building three solar-powered plants on the desert tortoises' habitat is right because tortoises are important to us. We, as mankind, should not do this. Even though it will help us, it will destroy many desert tortoises, and endanger them. If they become endangered species, we will have to save them in a forceful way, instead of letting them live peacefully. I think that if they must build it, then build it elsewhere, where there are not any rare animals.
I think they shouldn't put the solar plants, because they can find a different place that is not occupied by animals. They really shouldn't put them especially because they're barging into a endangered species habitat. The power source could really help the environment, but they should find a different place to keep the plants.

I do not think that three solar-powered plants should be built in in desert tortoises' habitat because I think that every living animal should be able to live in their own habitat and should not be disturbed and the panels may hurt the tortoises'. The tortoise should have a life where they can live and not be hurt. If I was a tortoise and some random person came and put that in my home. I would be so mad!
I disagree because the dessert sun helps the rare tortoises and if we cover them with shade they will start to die out. Even though it will help us we don't want to kill to help us. The desert tortoises are rare so we should help them and give them more space to live
Well, I STRONGLY agree about building solar powered powerplants in the toirteses habitat. First, no damage would be done to the tortoises besides a very tiny part of land taken away. Also, its a SOLAR POWERED powerplant! In a way, we are saving the tortoises. If we built a solarpowered powerplant, there would be less pollution, there would be less globabl warming, and thus, the tortoises would live!
I think that we should build the three solar powered plants because if we build them where the tortises live, we would have to move the tortises. It just doesn't seem right taking away a living thing from its home. Instead of making solar powered plants, why can't they make it on somthing else? Also, the tortises could get killed and there are very less of these creatures. I would not want anymore animals to be extinct.
I disagree with building 3 power plants in the tortoise's habitat. In the TFK it says that the power plants will kill some tortoises. Since they are rare to find the tortoises might get extinct. They could make a power plant somewhere else where it is sunny and there is not much wildlife. Then we could get our power from the power plant and not kill any animals.
I am okay with the fact of the solar plants, but do not appreciate the idea of building it in its habitat. It could really wipe out those tortoises. We should seriously change that location.
I disagree about building the three solar-powered plants in the desert tortoise's habitat. I think this because if the solar plants do kill off the tortoises, than our own state's reptile will be gone! I also disagree about moving the tortoises to some where else. I disagree to this because it is like going up to someone's home and saying "you have to move". Plus, they are only saying "you have to move" because they want to build something for themselves. So I think that we should make the solar plant somewhere else so no animal will be harmed.
I do not think they should build the solar power plants in the tortoises' habitat. The tortises are rare and the power plants could kill them. We could move the power plants instead of the tortoises. If we move the tortoises to another place they could die because they might not have enough food or water there.
I do not think we should build three-powered solar plants because it may effect the tortoises. I really don't want to hurt the tortoises because seeing as they're already rare, we do not want to endanger them. We could use other land areas too. Atleast we won't be harming nature.
I don't think building a solar plant in the tortoise's habitat is OK. First of all, the size of the solar plant will be 6 square miles wide. Making the solar plant will take away a lot of the tortoise's habitat. The second reason why I don't like the project is because the turtles might attempt climbing the fence around the solar plant and get stuck in the it.
Well, I very strongly disagree with building those power plants in the toroises' habitat. Why can't they build it somewhere else? They would be endangering the tortoise and be destroying their habitat. Plus, if they move the tortoise, they would have to adapt to their new habitat.
I don't think we should build solar-powered plants where the tortoise's are living. There are very few rare tortoises it that area. About 24 live there. We also shouldn't make them move, if we do that we are being unfair to them. I think they should find a better place to build solar-powered plants.
I disagree for building power plants in the tortoises habitat. We could just find another place to set up a power plant. I so don't think it is worth it to make a rare tortoise die. Anyways they are rare and if they die the most rare tortoises on our planet will die.
Yes, because then the desert tortoise can have more plants, and since the desert is hot and does not get a lot of sun the plants need to be able to live that is why there are not many plants in the desert. I hope we can help nature, but I want to make sure we don't change nature and its ways. So we should make sure the desert tortoise does not change its habits.
I strongly think that the three solar-powered plants should NOT be build in the tortoises' home. The fact that the desert tortoise is endangered makes the problem more of a no-brainer. If the solar-powered plants "move in" the desert tortoise's home, tortoises will die of the construction. After it is build the sound of the factory and roads with trucks will scare the tortoises away. Sure! Great! Thats Awesome! They get to move to a little tiny speck on the map! Then there going to be too crowed and die! No! That's the exact thing I don't want to happen. I think in "School House Rock" there is a song about elbow room. Well, tortoises don't have elbows, so I'm going to change the song a little. "Shell room, shell room, everybody's got to have some shell room". I think putting in the power plants is a great idea it's just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I SUPER STRONGLY disagree about building the power plant in the desert because it will kill and destroy these species. It would be miserable to wipe out a species. Can't they build the plant some were else{like a desert without rare species}. I don't think we can move the tortoise because they would die because their natural habitat is different from different places.
I disagree with building power plants in the tortoise's habitat. They are rare, so if you are building power plants in their habitat there is going to be less of them until they are extinct. You could build a power plant anywhere, but not in an animal's habitat.
I do not think it is a good idea to make a solar power plant where the to tortoise lives. It is not a good idea because there is only one of this type of animal and it might become extinct. Also, if we build a solar plant it will distrub the tortoise's habait. If they really want to bouild it then they should build it somewhere else out in the open where there is no rare animals.
I don't think that people should build power plants in the desert tortoise's habitat. This species is endangered so that is a big reason why we shouldn't build power plants there. We shouldn't destroy there habitat because they won't have anywhere to live and they'll die.
I strongly disagree that building three solar power plants is the right thing to do in a desert tortoises habitat. The solar power plants suck up energy and don't let the sun get to the ground where tortoises live. Like all reptiles, tortoises need the sun to keep them warm. If the solar power plants take away the sun, they will be cold and they might even freeze to death. This will make them endangered. We don't want this. We already have thousands of species that are at the edge of a cliff, almost falling into the strong current of the river. They are at the edge of life, almost extinct. Scientists are already working hard to save these animals. Do we really want to add another animal to their long list? Think about it.
I think it would be okay to install solar plants. Maybe nothinq would happen to the tortoises. We really need more things like power plants. It will help power many peoples houses, but it is a hard thing to decide because the tortoises and the solar plant are both equally important.
I disagree because tortoises have homes just like us. It might affect the tortoise's habitat. They might be extinct. Why don't they build it somewhere else?
I also strongly disagree that three solar-powered plants be built in the desert tortoises' habitat because we are destroying the tortoises just to help ourselves. I think that because the tortoises will be extinct. We can also just move the three solar-powered plants somewhere else so that the tortoises can survive.

No, because the tortoise wont have any energy and eventually die. Their habitat is being destroyed.
