An Interior Department press release reports that: “As part of President Obama's Climate Action Plan to cut carbon pollution and create clean energy jobs, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell announced on Monday the approval of the first three solar energy projects to benefit from the streamlined permitting process of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Western Solar Plan. When built, the three solar energy projects on public lands in Clark County, Nevada, will generate up to 440 megawatts of energy – enough electricity to power roughly 132,000 homes – and are expected to create up to 1,900 construction jobs.”
