Federal Solar Moratorium: Laziness + Corruption = BLM
The controversy over the Bureau of Land Management’s decision to stop taking applications for solar projects on federal land and take no action on the ones they have will not go away. Treehugger, a great eco-blog, is spurring on the discussion as the Bush Regimists take their final, extended summer vacations before going back to work under a new president who might actually care about America. Bottom line: no matter who takes over from Bush, the moratorium will be lifted because solar makes sense. It’s the Bush Administration and its relentless and unjustifiable protection of the oil, gas and coal industries that don’t.
