U.S. Burned On Solar Moratorium

That didn't take long, did it?

Now if only they would listen on other things!


"Halt on solar plants on US lands lifted

The government said yesterday that it is ending a moratorium on applications to build solar plants on public lands. The Bureau of Land Management made the announcement after public opposition to its original decision, reached at the end of May. The bureau had first wanted to do a comprehensive review of environmental impacts from such plants. The bureau now plans to keep processing the applications it has for 125 solar projects on about 1 million acres in the West (AP)."
