The Dept. of Interior announcement says "The Solar PEIS establishes an initial set of 17 Solar Energy Zones (SEZs), totaling about 285,000 acres of public lands, that will serve as priority areas for commercial-scale solar development, with the potential for additional zones through ongoing and future regional planning processes. If fully built out, projects in the designated areas could produce as much as 23,700 megawatts of solar energy, enough to power approximately 7 million American homes. The program also keeps the door open, on a case-by-case basis, for the possibility of carefully sited solar projects outside SEZs on about 19 million acres in “variance” areas. The program also includes a framework for regional mitigation plans, and to protect key natural and cultural resources the program excludes a little under 79 million acres that would be inappropriate for solar development based on currently available information."

Thats a lot of homes being powered, but we still need to be able to do better. Solar power is something that should be released and communal.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your illustrative and educational posts.
ReplyDeleteYea, That's really great that people are taking the use of Home solar panel and homes are being Powered by solar energy.I hope this will work for better growth in the field of solar power.
ReplyDeleteI defiantly see this as something that can only help the growth of solar. The more people who can see and test its uses the more it will grow. Solar energy in has been growing steadily as people get more first hand looks. I think that same mentality will follow solar wherever it goes
ReplyDeleteFantastic blog! I like the post a lot! Very interesting and useful read. I'll be back in the future to check your posts. Thanks for sharing wonderful thoughts. Thumbs up!
