Ken Salazar, the US Interior Secretary in the Obama administration, told the press earlier that he is studying if almost 700,000 acres of federal land would be a good fit for solar farms.
This represents a big step from the Obama administration toward the use of renewable energy in a effort to help the country cut their carbon footprint.
Salazar went on to predict that by the end of 2010 there will be upwards of 13 commercial scale solar farms under development of US land.
