Welcome to The Senate Site

Editorial in the Ely Times:

. . . We get much of our power from Deseret Power in Utah. Mt. Wheeler Power gets hydropower from the Glen Canyon Dam and coal-fired power from Deseret's Bonanza plant in Utah.

The Utah Legislature is deliberating CO2 emission levels, and whatever limit the Bee Hive State adopts, the Bonanza plant will have to conform.

That could mean the cost of our power in Eastern Nevada could skyrocket if Deseret must pay to include more green power in its mix.

We could easily face a situation, where we are surrounded by green-power generation, while having to pay a carbon surcharge because our power includes too much fossil fuels and not enough green power.
