Description
California’s desert offers abundant solar energy but locating large installations often triggers a good old Western dust up among neighbors, environmentalists, and investors. Federal and state officials have identified preferred solar zones to provide clarity and predictability. Are they on the same page? Can different levels of government work with business and environmentalists to speed the production of clean energy in the desert while improving the habitat for wildlife? We’ll discuss ambitious plans to soak up the sun in the American West with leading voices in the debate.David Festa, West Coast Vice President, Environmental Defense Fund
