While almost all industries and types of real estate are in the crapper in the U.S. right now, applications to build solar projects in areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management are up by 78%.
The projects are all 10 megawatts or greater solar power plants. The ideal real estate being sought is desert land in California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. There are a total of 223 applications currently submitted for approval and seeking a combined acreage of 2.3 million.
Clearly this is a sign that entrepreneurial spirits have spotted a niche in the energy market where they expect to make some serious money via solar power.
Head over to Green Tech Media for more details on this interesting race for solar energy.
