If you smoke, you HAVE to find a way to stop.
Nevada and all the other states will want to continue their vigilance, perhaps even improve it.
Use the new cash flow to improve your educational system and develop solar power and battery expertice.
Writing from Detroit. Yet this discussion sounds entirely familiar.
Discussion of business diversification activity is hijacked by
1) low-tax agenda proponents,
2) protesters of corruption in present organizations {see UAW and Big3.}
3) current power brokers discouraging anything but status quo.
If Nevada wants to be like Michigan, just keep listening to these sources and to contributers like nay-sayer KDR81. Don't 'Low-tax' yourself into a 'one-trick pony' canyon.
If you create a significant public utility based on your solar strength, it may well attract attention. If you make experts and property access available, they could create start-ups. The Fed may soon require electricity suppliers who burn coal to invest in low-emission sources. Let Nevada be the most prepared for this shift. Start an Institute for Conversion and Storage of Solar Energy. Produce engineers who can squeeze more power out of a collection cell and pack more power into a battery.
Follow the status quo and you may end up like Michigan: few auto engineering or auto assembly jobs left, no significant mass transportation system, empty town centers with nice suburbs full of unemployed people, and sore ears from the never-ending rants of the nay-sayers who squashed civic action.
"Nothing" is a red flag that you are a braggart.
