Slightly OT but a quote from New Scientist:
"Industry analysts say upto £50 billion in capital is now waiting to be invested in solar projects in the Nevada desert but there is a problem: Washington DC. Under the Bush administration the US Beureau of Land Management has granted permission for oil companies to prospect for oil on 30,000,000 hectares of fedral land. Yet it has refused applications for putting solar panels and reflectors across a total of 400,000 hectares of western states - enough for 40,000 megawatts of electricity generating capacity."
