Nevada to close 1 of 2 remaining Coal utility plants by end of 2021 North Valmy (exit 212 on I80). By the end of 2025 NV should not be using coal. I don't know what will happen if activists figure out that natural gas is a fossil fuel as well as coal and oil. In 2019, an average of 44,658 vehicles crossed the California border with Nevada on Interstate 15 each day, and about 18 percent of all visitors to Las Vegas came from Southern California, according to Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority data. If the ban on the sale of gasoline vehicles takes place in California in 2035 then obviously Nevada will need to produce enough electricity to recharge visitors from California. Unlike WA and OR, there is no strong movement in NV that I am aware of to ban gasoline vehicles in Nevada. I am surprised there is no nuclear power plants in Nevada. Pennsylvania has 9 operating plants that produce an extra 83 terawatts last year. Coincidenttally PA consumed 83 terawatts less electricity than it produced. |
