Lamar Alexander, U.S. Senator from Tennessee, discussed how the current push for renewable energy could consume greater expanses of land and pose a threat to some of America’s iconic landscapes and habitats, a challenge that is not yet widely understood. Alexander is honorary co-chair of the report Great Outdoors America, released in July, which explored how Americans engage with and value the nation’s land and water resources.
