Good news for solar project development in Nevada

Because nearly 85% of Nevada land is owned by the federal government, the bureaucracy that is the Bureau of Land Management’s (“BLM”) maze of rules, regulations and processes has seriously hindered development of solar projects. The BLM process has been so time-consuming and expensive that most developers gave up or went broke. The news of the Department of the Interior’s blueprint for a standardized Environmental Impact Statement is a huge step forward and hopefully will encourage more solar project development in Nevada on federal lands. Check out this article from Fox News Reno about this development. http://www.foxreno.com/news/news/state-regional/new-milestone-solar-energy-development-nevada/nP286/
