Save the desert from evil solar energy projects??? Are you nuts? Save the desert for what? Do you want to save it so Californians can come over here with their play toy's and tear it up like they do Sand Mountain?
Solar energy and Wind Power are about the only two things that are likely to make Nevada king of the hill. Imagine paying less for utilities and not paying any property taxes! It's all possible. Solar energy and Wind power after meeting the needs of Nevada can be sold to other states. The revenue from that energy pays your property taxes. I dont know about you but that sounds pretty good to me!
I believe that the Governor is taking his Que's from his time as congressman. He's trying not to make waves and sure he's going to make some mistakes, so would a democrat if you could get one in office. Instead of asking for his recall why not get on board and see what you people of influence can do to help the governor and the state. Do any of you rememeber "We the people"? I guess your going to do whatever you want to do but your actions are no benefit to the people of Nevada!
And another thought. On the east central side of Michigan there is a town that turned their unsightly, costly dump from a minus to a plus. They built a methane plant at the base of the dump and built a mountain of garbage. In the winter they open the mountain up for skiers. In the spring and summer it's a grass covered mound thats really nice to look at. The towns citizens dont pay utilities all year long! We've got millions of acres of that desert that someone wants to save that could be used to do the same thing. Can anyone imagine the amount of jobs that would be created if Nevada became the country's leader in Solar, Wind and Methane? Just take a for instance, Methane. Each state, expecially the eastern states that have so much garbage that they dont know what to do with it, could pay Nevada to take their garbage. Build methane plants around mountains of garbage. I pay $200 a month for utilities, sure would be nice not to have to pay that!
Isn't it time for Nevadan's to start thinking!!!

Yes, Fund the education system! But to do that the money has to come from somewhere and everything is possible as I stated a few minutes ago.
We need a more comprehensive educational system here in Nevada. I look at my nephew, he was ready to drop out by the time he got to the 8th grade. From then on he didn't learn anything. Kids like him need to be sorted out and put into class rooms where they teach a craft, something to benefit themselves and the city and state. Has anyone looked at the level of crime that kids are getting into? It's growing! Why? Because we're not educating these kids. Yes, you can tell about the number of kids that do well in school and go on to become doctors, lawyers and professors, but what about the drop outs? What about those kids that just dont get it? We need to take actions to help them and help ourselves.
My nephew got in so much trouble he went to prison. He's doing alright now because there's lots of help for kids like him after they've gone to prison! Does anyone want to guess why our prison's are over crowded? It all boils down to education and programs before they go to prison!
