Good-for-Nothing Polluted Land May Be Good for Renewables
The federal government and the private sector have launched new efforts to determine ideal sites for solar and wind energy projects in the United States.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Department posted new tools April 25 for evaluating commercial and industrial rooftops, parking lots, and contaminated lands for solar and wind energy potential.
The tools, which include solar and wind "decision trees," will help state and local governments and landowners to identify the best sites without technical expertise, according to EPA.
