Re:Public Land (Score 1)

This applys to BLM land only. DoD, especially the Army, vigorously pursues affordable, renewable energy projects and purchase contracts. In fact, they often offer land a token rental rates (often $1 per yr) for that purpose. The Army has been and continues to be very amenable to leasing land for renewable energy. After all, they have the most to gain (i.e. National Security) if we reduce our dependence on foreign oil. In addition to cheap land, DoD offers gauranteed long-term purchase contracts, tax incentives, and, sometimes, supplimental funding when projects overlap the scope of other "funded" efforts. The "Army Energy Program" site has more on this.
