The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced that 1,920 acres of public land in Millard County, Utah, are set aside for the Neptune Solar Project. This land is segregated to prevent other uses under public land laws or the Mining Law of 1872, but is still available for leasing under the mineral and geothermal laws. The segregation will last for up to two years, during which the BLM will consider the right-of-way application for solar energy development. The goal is to manage the area effectively while decisions are made about the renewable energy project.
Simple Explanation
The government is setting aside some land in Utah for two years to think about putting up a really big solar panel project, kind of like saving a spot in a park until they decide what playground to build.
