New measures to support solar on public lands
The Associated Press, hundreds of thousands of hectares of public land are to realize their potential as solar power sites, Ken Salazar studied, the Interior Minister, said on Monday. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced measures on Monday to the development of solar power on the western public To accelerate countries.
Mr. Salazar, who said in Las Vegas with Harry Reid, Majority Leader in the Senate, that 670,000 hectares land by the Bureau of Land Management be maintained (an agency within the Department of the Interior) were examined to determine whether they could support large solar arrays.
Twenty-four Tracts of land in six states – Nevada, Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah – are in the reporting year. Maps of the country will soon be published in the Federal Register. Solar-study areas, "said Mr. Salazar, are part of the Obama administration push to" do everything possible to the bulls-eye on the development of solar energy on our public Country. "
Mr. Salazar said that the assessments would happen to be a "thoughtful manner to ensure, not only that the locations of more solar power supply, can, but also that they "do not attempt against other important public values that we are protected, and other ecological Values. "
Solar energy is in the opposition in places like the Mojave Desert in California, where environmentalists and fear run some of their political allies, that large solar plants might damage fragile desert ecosystems. By the end of 2010, Mr. Salazar said he expected there to 13 commercial-scale solar projects under construction on public land.
"There are millions of acres for oil and gas provided. It is time we have something for renewable energy," said Mr. Reid.
I have some information that you’re going to love! There is an information product available on the internet that will explain how the average homeowner can build and install their own independent power source and achieve complete energy efficiency! We’re talking about a magnetic power generator that creates zero cost electricity, and doesn’t rely on mother nature (ie. wind or solar energy). When installed and functioning, these magnetic generators create their own energy and they’ll power your home for free! Plus…you may be eligible for residential renewable energy tax credit!

Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association, praised the initiatives.
Mr. Salazar today the opening of the one New "Interior renewable energy co-ordination office in Nevada, to build faster renewable energy applications by the developers of process on public land and then. The Bureau will also start reviewing the environmental impacts of two proposed solar arrays in Nevada, "said Salazar.
