BLM seeks to accelerate deployment of solar projects on public lands

摘要

As the Biden administration works to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and wholly decarbonize the U.S. economy by 2050, the Interior Department announced Dec. 5 that it is taking several steps to accelerate deployment of solar projects across public lands in the West. In a visit to Arizona’s 260-megawatt Sonoran Solar Energy Project currently under development, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said that Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will update a decade-old final programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) for solar to encourage more development across the region.
