Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger have signed a model of federal-state initiative and cooperation to spur the development of environmentally appropriate renewable energy on U.S. lands in California. The model will expedite a robust, science-based process for reviewing, approving and permitting renewable energy projects on Interior-managed lands in California.
As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, Interior and state agencies will not only expedite the permitting and processing of renewable energy projects but also develop a timeline that provides applicants for these projects with permitting schedules required to meet the recovery act's Dec. 1, 2010 deadline for beginning construction.
