Federal government wants to make 5 million acres of Utah land available for solar energy projects.
Plan would make 31 million acres across 11 western states available for development.
Environmental groups say they have concerns with the federal government’s plan, such as a lack of state involvement.
Plan is update to a 2012 solar development plan, which only included six states.
The BLM ’s plan would open much of the sunny West Desert to solar projects.
To install solar panels, developers must bulldoze vegetation to flatten it, which demolishes wildlife habitats.
The plan would also make areas along the Great Salt Lake's shoreline available for solar applications.
Environmentalists fear the 12 million birds that rely on the saline lake and its wetlands.
