Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the federal government is going to fast track plans to build solar power generating plants in Arizona and five other Western states.

Salazar says the government is setting aside 1,000 square miles of Bureau of Land Management property. He calls the 24 tracts of land Solar Energy Study Areas. He says the goal is to speed the process of tapping the sun’s energy to power homes, businesses and industries.
