Assessment heats up solar efforts

Nevada, along with Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, was assessed by the U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the Bureau of Land Management to determine plans for developing alternative energy resources on public lands. The Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement was released last week—good news for local renewable energy projects, who can use the statement to plan for the implementation of energy resources throughout the state. The study has been in the works for more than two years. Learn more about it at http://solareis.anl.gov/.
