State officials are trying to build one of the largest wind farms in the nation.
"One of the largest wind farms in the nation could be operating 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas in a year, Nevada Test Site Development Corp. officials say..."This clean, green energy project will put Nevada on the map in the alternative and renewable energy world," Reid said. When it is fully built, the wind farm would generate enough electricity to supply a city of 85,000 people, Test Site corporation Director Tim Carlson said. As natural gas prices soar and California suffers from energy shortages, the idea of a wind farm at the Test Site offers an attractive, clean source of electricity, Carlson said."
