  • Genesis Solar Energy Project PA/FEIS 4.1-1 August 2010 4
    CHAPTER 4 Environmental Consequences 4.1 Introduction This chapter assesses environmental impacts that would occur due to the implementation of proposed action or the alternatives described in Chapter 2. The baseline affected environment, or existing condition, is described in Chapter 3. 4.1.1 Analytical Assumptions The following impacts analysis was conducted with the following assumptions: 1. The laws, regulations, and policies applicable to BLM authorizing ROW grants for renewable energy development facilities would be applied consistently for all action alternatives. 2. The proposed facility would be constructed, operated, maintained and decommissioned as described in each action alternative. 3. Short-term impacts are those expected to occur during the construction phase and the first five years of the operation and maintenance phase. Long-term impacts are those that would occur after the first five years of operation. 4.1.2 Types of Effects The potential impacts from those actions that would have direct, indirect, and cumulative effects were considered for each resource. Effects and impacts as used in this document are synonymous and could be beneficial or detrimental. Direct effects are caused by the action and occur at the same time and place as the action; indirect effects are caused by the action and occur later in time or further in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable. 40 CFR 1508.8. Cumulative impacts are those effects resulting from the incremental impacts of an action when combined with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions (regardless of which agency or person undertakes such actions). 40 CFR 1508.7. Cumulative impacts could result from individually insignificant but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.

Stefano Paltera/Solar Decathlon Global Solar Energy, a member of the Thin Film PV Partnership, produces PV material by depositing CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) on a lightweight, flexible polymide substrate in roll form. Global Solar Energy, PIX13419 The DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program Raymond A. Sutula, Manager, DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program The Solar Energy Technologies Program, within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), is responsible for developing solar energy technologies that can convert sunlight to useful energy and make that energy available to satisfy a significant portion of our nation's energy needs in a cost-effective way. The Solar Program supports research and development that addresses a wide range of applications, including on- site electricity generation, thermal energy for space heating and hot water, and large-scale power production. This is a great time to be involved with solar energy. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are being installed in the United States and around the world in unprecedented quantities.

  • Community Solar Power
    Community Solar Power Obstacles and Opportunities JOHN FARRELL [email protected] Revised November 2010 A publication of New Rules Project 612-379-3815 1313 5th St. SE, Suite 303 www.newrules.org Minneapolis, MN 55414 New Rules Project www.newrules.org i Comment on Revisions The original edition of Community Solar Power received a lot of attention, for which we at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance are very grateful. The grading system we used for community solar projects was of particular interest, especially our offer of higher scores for projects placed on rooftops rather than on the ground. In particular, the excellent folks at the Clean Energy Collective (whose project is featured in this report) engaged us on the criteria we used for rooftop and ground-mounted solar power. After several in-depth conversations, we offer this revision to Community Solar Power and to the grades we provided for solar project location. We think that our revised grading system better reflects the advantages of distributed renewable energy as well as the best efforts of community solar projects to provide their participants with the best value. See the table below for the revised grades (an updated scorecard is in the report). For a more thorough discussion of the location conversation, see this post to our distributed energy web resource, Energy Self-Reliant States: Community Solar: Better on the Roof? Sincerely, -John Farrell Community Sol Simple University Green- Solar Sun- Solar CEC Partners Solar Park house Pioneer Smart Ellensburg Sakai Scorecard:
