San Bernardino, California, July 18, 2010 — The Lucerne Valley Solar Project cleared its final environmental review this week and, according to the project’s developers, will generate enough clean, reliable and renewable electricity to power almost 20,000 California homes. The project has the support of conservation groups working in California and nationally because it demonstrates that large-scale solar energy projects can be planned in a way that protects plants, wildlife and other desert resources.
