NV Energy has embarked on a three-part strategy to meet Nevada’s growing energy needs. A member and platinum sponsor of Nevada Energy Star Partners, a statewide coalition of developers, utilities, manufacturers, retailers and consultants committed to promoting energy conservation, NV Energy is launching its initiative that includes expanding energy efficiency and conservation programs, expanding renewable energy resources and adding new, more-efficient generating power plants.
A day after the Interior Department announced plans to fast-track solar-power plants on public lands in Nevada, a clean-energy forum met to discuss how government agencies, legislators and private businesses have advanced green power.
NV Energy’s latest action plan for new power capacity will rely almost solely on ecofriendly measures, executives for the power utility said in a meeting Tuesday with Review-Journal editors and reporters.
Two planned solar stations in Nevada could be among the first renewable-energy plants to result from a new federal push toward green fuels.
When he was running for president as a candidate for change, Barack Obama said: “Our energy problem has become an energy crisis because no matter how well-intentioned the promise — no matter how bold the proposal — they all fall victim to the same Washington politics that has only become more divided and dishonest; more beholden to the powerful interests that have the biggest stake in the status quo.”
