"Currently we have a 200 megawatt wind farm, that’s in the process of being built today. It’s being permitted right now and that’s up on the Idaho Nevada border. We need to get that wind energy down to Las Vegas. We need to harness even more of the geothermal energy that’s up in the Reno area to bring down south. "
