公用事业规模的太阳能（USSE）开发是美国西南部土地利用变化的一个新兴原因。该地区的许多拟议项目都遇到了环保组织的阻力，因为他们担心濒危、受威胁和特殊地位的物种。项目还面临着来自受影响的当地社区和美洲原住民部落的阻力。这项研究记录了2009年至2015年USSE发展初期出现的土地使用冲突。其目标是确定可再生能源开发的土地使用冲突的潜在根源，以帮助解释为什么一般情况下对可再生能源的支持是一致的，但在提案和开发阶段对项目的普遍反对。提供的主要数据包括公众对正式规则制定流程的评论、2009年至2013年进行的半结构化采访以及各种媒体来源。本文最后描述了新兴的规划框架，确定USSE的网站，减少土地使用冲突。
Utility-scale solar energy (USSE) development is an emerging cause of land use change across the American Southwest. Many proposed projects in the region have encountered resistance from environmental groups because of concern about endangered, threatened, and special status species. Projects have also faced resistance from impacted local communities and Native American tribes. This research documents land use conflicts that surfaced during the initial wave of USSE development from 2009 to 2015. The goal is to identify potential roots of land use conflict over renewable energy development, to help explain why there is consistent support for renewables in general, but widespread opposition to projects during the proposal and development stages. The primary data presented include public comments to formal rule-making processes, semi-structured interviews conducted from 2009 to 2013, and various media sources. The paper concludes describing emerging planning frameworks that identify sites for USSE with fewer land use conflicts.
