America needs to use solar and nuclear and Nevada is a perfect place. So much of the land is owned by the government and is barren that it has more than enough land to spare for some very large solar plants. They also need to get off their high horse and allow the nuclear waste facility at Yucca Mountain to open. Let's all remember above and below ground testing at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site have made the area a no-mans land for centuries to come. My dad used to tell me about watching the above ground tests when he was a kid growing up in Henderson. I think this is one place the environmentalists can't use injunctions to stop the processes since we already killed any eco-system long ago.
In fact, if we bridged over the entire grand canyon with solar panels, we could supply enough electricity to take over the world!! MWAHAHAHAHA
Not really. My inner evil genius took over for a second there.
I agree that Nevada is a perfect place, but the main issue isn't location, it's cost. The multi-trillion dollar oil companies need to realize that it's entirely their fault that the world is in such a "We need to go green!" state of mind. If they would take their heads out of their asses and see that spending some of their profits on green energy would not only calm the hatred towards them, but it would allow them to continue their business, as (at least with today's technology), there is no way to comletely replace fossil fuels.
