Calif. county objects to big solar project

Las Vegas Sun reports:
Hundreds of out-of-work Las Vegas construction workers have been waiting for a chance to start building a giant solar plant in California, just southwest of Primm, but San Bernardino County officials’ objections are putting those jobs on hold if not jeopardizing them entirely.

The project’s problems may serve as a preview of the hurdles that other solar plants planned for Southern Nevada will have to clear.
