Nevada Power Co. Will Invest in a 30-megawatt Geothermal Plant

This is great news for Nevada. Geothermal power is known for its reliability (unlike solar systems and wind turbines which aren't generating power 24/7). I also wonder if Nevada could offset most or even all of their energy needs with renewable energy. They have the wide open space to put gigantic mega-solar concentrators, wind turbines, and geothermal. Plus they are already receiving some hydroelectric power from Hoover Dam. I'm probably vastly underestimating their power consumption (think Las Vegas) but it's worth a try. The less that we can depend on coal-burning electricity plants and the more we can rely on the sun, wind, water, and heat from the Earth to supply our energy needs the better.
