General comments:

The project is being assessed by Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

The draft Environmental Impact Statement is expected by mid 2013.

This project is promoted by Pacific Solar Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of former Iberdrola Renewables, now Iberdrola, and it's worth noting that this company, although owns a plant in Spain, has shown a clear hostility against this technology.
