I read this article and I shook my head... The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) the agency that brought us raging wildfires from decades of fuel accumulation, has put the cabash on the future prosperity of the nation. No long diatribe today, it's Friday afterall.
But there is an alternative. Companies can put their solar power plant on their roof.
I think it's insane to not develop the desert south west, but it will take time, and it does little for the rest of the country. From Maine, to Florida, and all points west the Distributed Generation (DG) model of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) can continue to proceed uninterrupted by government foolishness.
As long as you own your roof, the BLM really can't say anything.
So here's the deal, consider your roof. For every 10,000 sq ft you can add about 25kW of electrical generation capacity. (I'm obviously addressing business owners here) Even at a measily $0.10 per kWh ( good luck finding power that cheap in another few years) that's worth more than $7,000 per year; before incentives!
Will it change the world? Eventually, probably not overnight, but at least it's agood start.
Until regular people decide that it's time to take charge of their situation, it's good to know that there are mechanisms in place that'll hamper and interfere with innovation & progress (BLM).
If your needs are more modest than a square mile (640 acres) of solar generation, give Solar & Thermal Systems a chance to help you out.
The Light is Green!
