The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced that it rejected the appeals from the Governors of California and Utah concerning proposed changes to the land use plans for large solar energy projects. The BLM determined that the recommendations from the governors did not demonstrate conflicts with existing state or local plans nor did they offer a reasonable balance between national interests and state interests. The BLM emphasized that the national interest in managing public lands for renewable energy development was a priority, and no significant changes to the solar development plans were warranted based on the appeals.
Simple Explanation
The BLM said no to changes suggested by the Governors of California and Utah about big solar projects because they believe those changes didn't fit with the rules and plans already in place, and making solar power is really important for everyone.
