More news in the Pahrump Valley Times this past weekend telling us that Ausra is making some moves to Amargosa Valley for a new SOLAR power plant. We at PRONevada would GREATLY ENCOURAGE Nye County to do all they can to get this plant.
Ausra is building a manufacturing plant in Las Vegas and is pulling the price of Solar Power from 20 cents and kwh (kilowatt hour) down to 11 cents. Gas and coal is at 5-6 cents and rising while solar is coming down. That still may not sound good to some of you to have Solar twice the price of gas and coal but consider a few things: 1] One is going down, the other is going up and soon (within a few years) they will switch places. 2] Paying 6 cents for gas is putting 6 cents into the pockets of people OUTSIDE Nevada, sometimes OUTSIDE the US and even INSIDE the borders of countries that HATE US! 3] Clean, absolutely clean, ZERO EMMISIONS of any kind! 4] A completely RENEWABLE resource, if there is one thing Amargosa has it is SUN and lots of it, it will be there tomorrow, you don't have to dig for it, it just shows up for work EVERY MORNING! (or at least 97% of the time)
So come on Nye County, come on State powers! Get this plant in here! Get them the tax breaks they need, cut out the red tape they are bound with. Give Valley Electric and even Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific power a kick in the but to build the transmission lines and credits they should be giving. Let's do this! It would definately be PRONevada!
