Diverse and Stable Energy Infrastructure
Nevada uses several sources to generate electricity, including natural gas, renewables, coal, and a small amount from fuel oil or other gas. Currently, more than two-thirds of the state’s electricity is produced in natural gas-fired power plants; coal and renewables comprise most of the remaining amount. Nevada has seen an increase in renewable energy production and continues to develop its abundant renewable energy resources, such as geothermal and solar, for use both within the state and for exportation. Nevada has an extensive capacity for renewables resources and increased generation. Currently, renewables account for about 14 percent of state energy sources. Nevada ranks first nationally in solar capacity per capita.

Southern Nevada Water Authority
Southern Nevada is a desert climate, meaning water resources are limited and conservation is critical. Luckily, the region is situated next to the nation’s largest man-made reservoir, Lake Mead, which provides ample water for the region. The deep-water intake and pumping station will provide water to Las Vegas, even if lake levels continue to decline. That said, it would be difficult to find a community that has been more aggressive relative to conservation during the past 15 years.
Since 2002, Clark County’s population has increased by more than 600,000 residents while its consumptive use of water has declined by 28 percent.
