If Sen. Reid is truly interested in energy development in Nevada why doesn't he provide some leadership to overcome the obstacles thrown up by the BLM in Nye County that is blocking solar energy development?
If Sen. Reid is truly interested in energy development in Nevada why does he support designating several hundred thousands acres of public land in Lyon, Mineral, and Esmeralda County as Wilderness when this land contains the minerals he refers to, geothermal potential, and can be used for solar power development? Once this land is designated Wilderness these activities cannot be developed.
The senator should be careful as to the abundance of land he wishes to see set aside for Wilderness in Northwest Nevada as it might interfer with some future pipeline route to move water to So. Nevada and in turn upset his wilderness buddies in the process, not to mention the disapointment his brother will face when the water doesn't flow to the the Southern Nevada Water Authority.

Just because Sen. Reid is opposed to the Yucca Mountain Repository for nuclear waste does not mean all Nevadans are opposed. In fact many of us see it as a opportunity to create additional wealth for this state, begin research and development on what to do with the stuff to make it a viable resource, etc. For what it is worth is was Sen Reid's buddy Jimmy Carter who stuck us with all this waste with his questionable "Peace Inititives". Sen. Reid would have more creditability on this subject if he could explain to the citizens of Nevada how it is he "supports" renewable energy in this state, yet allows the pro wilderness folks to gobble up so much land for Wilderness Areas, which, once gobbled, cannot be used for any renewable energy source including power transmission lines.
