From the page:
"Further dampening hopes for a big solar-energy boom, the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has abruptly slapped a moratorium on new applications to put solar collectors on federal land. The agency says it has a backlog of more than 130 applications and needs to conduct a region-wide environmental-impact study on the industry before it will accept any more. The study will take 22 months to complete, however. Few argue against trying to preserve precious water sources and protect desert tortoises and other creatures that might not enjoy cohabiting with sprawling fields of mirrors.
But many solar advocates wonder why the government is not acting as cautiously when it comes to drilling for oil and gas."

The key phrase from the page:But many solar advocates wonder why the government is not acting as cautiously when it comes to drilling for oil and gas.
Read the article. See what I mean? They are focused towards what benefits them, not what benefits us.

- From the page: "But many solar advocates wonder why the government is not acting as cautiously when it comes to drilling for oil and gas."Because drilling for oil and gas is a proven method of supplying energy. Oil and gas hasn't run out yet and the whole energy infrastructure will have to change when it does. I'm guessing that they're planning to use stockpiles of oil and gas before we go all-out on something like this, but I'm sure it'll happen if it's a sound source of energy.
