加利福尼亚州委员会通过了在Riverside 县Genesis太阳能项目，建设250MW的光伏电厂。
在这个电站项目声明之前，政府也曾广泛征集了建设意见，并提出了该项目将会对当地环境有重要影响。但是项目的利大于弊。
The Commission’s siting committee has recommended approval for the Genesis Solar Energy Project, a 250MW proposal for Riverside County.
The recommendation, which is now subject to a 30-day public comment period before a final decision is made, does note that the project will have “significant impacts” on the local environment.
However, it suggests the benefits of the project would outweigh the impacts.
The recommendation from the committee’s presiding member, James Boyd, stated: “Although the project, even with the mitigation measures described in this Decision, will have remaining significant impacts on the environment, the Commission has found that the benefits that the project will provide override those impacts.”
