"The Bureau of Land Management is advancing what could become the world's largest solar power project in a region of the Southern California desert where environmental groups and American Indian tribes have filed multiple federal lawsuits to stop already approved, large-scale renewables projects."
"BLM announced today in a Federal Register notice that it has completed a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the McCoy Solar Energy Project, which would sit on 7,700 acres of public land in the Colorado Desert, about 13 miles northwest of Blythe, Calif.
The McCoy plant, proposed by Juno Beach, Fla.-based NextEra Energy Resources Inc., would have the capacity to produce 750 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power more than 260,000 homes, according to the company."
