Whay aren't we pursuing nuclear in conjunction with these other fuel sources. Why can't we put 8500 mw's of nuclear on the contaminated Test Site. Coal is king I do have to say. There are technologies out there today that can scrub and make it almost as clean as gas. Let's use this resource let's educate ourselves with better ways to burn coal. But we have it, so lets use it. There is over 300 years of coal just in the U.S. alone...
Have you noticed now how the hole Global Warming issue can't be proven. Isn't that interesting? What are you considered if you don't want to pollute but don't believe in global warming? If CO doesn't trap heat like it was thought then how can CO emissions cause global warming? Does the Earth have natural cycles? How can you prove the Earth is warming if you haven't had your temperature probe's in the same place for over 100 or 150 years?
Why is it that we can't build coal fired plant's when Nevada Power is within all their rights? They've filed the permits and secured resources. Wouldn't that be pretty communist to deny these people their rights. They are meeting their Enviromental Obligations commence building. Look at China, are they going to be enviromentally resoncible? Pumping way more un scrubbed waste than we could think about.
People you get something for the coal, yes that's what is making up most of the energy in your computer your staring at right now...

Mr. Ried is showing how truly out of touch he is with Nevada and it's communities. Global warming is a great lie. This is a tool for socialists to control others. These plants would staff 200 jobs paying over $25 per hour and bring in large amounts of vendors and contractors to help boost those poor people's economy. Las Vegas gets part of it's energy from a coal plant not more than 50 miles away, has this hurt anyone or the enviroment in southern Nevada?
