Today the Bureau of Land Management announced the lifting of its moratorium on solar energy applications on federal land.

"We are happy to see that BLM will continue to process solar applications. With consumers facing rapidly increasing energy costs, the United States cannot afford to delay solar projects any longer." Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President Rhone Resch said in today's statement. Click here to read his more from SEIA.

The Bureau of Land Management issued a press release saying:

"We heard the concerns expressed during the scoping period about waiting to consider new applications," said BLM Director James Caswell, "and we are taking action. By continuing to accept and process new applications for solar energy projects, we will aggressively help meet growing interest in renewable energy sources, while ensuring environmental protections."
