In case you didn’t know, Solar, Wind, Geothermal Projects, are being “Fast Track” by the Obama Administration.
Fast Tracking attempts to minimize the red tape, in order to get the boots on the ground as soon as feasible.
They are OUR Public lands by the way. We should use them to secure our Energy Future while protecting our wonderful Natural Heritage.
Here are the highlights:
BLM> California> California Desert District> Alternative Energy> Fast-Track Projects
