摘要

In considering each of these alternatives, it may be effective for BLM managers to think about what they want from an approval process. While it is tempting to approve the most projects in the least amount of time, and to show progress towards national energy goals, BLM might not want to concentrate all of its efforts on fast-tracking if doing so results in lawsuits, acrimony, and opposition. At the same time, slowing down the process to a crawl is unlikely to win BLM support from funders, who will see a process that was once approving projects at a fast rate and question why they are unable to continue installing projects at that rate. So, the preferred alternative for BLM may be to continue attempting to fast-track renewable energy projects, but to do so in such a way that local concerns are more explicitly addressed during each stage of the process. In other words, a simple assessment may not be sufficient; it may be that citizen groups should be consulted before zoning and other geographical decisions are made. This should occur during stages in which developers submit proposals for new energy projects as well as during and after project installation and implementation. Although this might incur greater financial costs for BLM, such mechanisms also could occur parallel with other parts of the process and thus not slow down the time frame of the overall process. In fact, if they were to reduce the number of lawsuits from groups now included in the process, such mechanisms could decrease the time from project conceptualization to energy production, and perhaps enable BLM to obtain more funding, devote more resources to renewable energy projects, and help to meet national energy goals.
