Eric Mims is on the forefront of changing the way we drive — or at least what we drive. The chief executive officer of Las Vegas-based Enigma Energy plans to open the first all-electric car dealership in Nevada and develop a network of 500 solar-powered recharging stations throughout the state.

Utility companies and transportation departments are working on billions of dollars in infrastructure projects across the Silver State.
A state agency is questioning the Silver State’s lack of wind energy, and says it’s ready to coordinate discussions that could get wind projects moving. At the end of 2010, every state surrounding Nevada had at least 128 megawatts of wind power up and running. Nevada doesn’t have a single wind farm big enough for utility use.
