Where is coal mined in Nevada?
read this post by Carl Pope
I have heard all the crazy ads on the radio and television about how 30% of all nevadas power comes from coal and such, heres some Fact
Las Vegas, NV -- At first blush, Nevada appears an unlikely choice for the coal industry to make its last stand in the mountain West. Coal is one of the few minerals the Silver State doesn't produce. Nevada enjoys America's biggest geothermal resource, ranks in the top five for solar, and has enormous wind reserves. By rights it should be a renewable energy powerhouse. Its legislature just passed a strong renewable electricity mandate, and the state is leading the nation with its legislation to set the first efficiency standards for light bulbs. Indeed, a new report by Environment America (formerly US PIRG) lauded Nevada as one of America's "rising stars", along with Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Wisconsin. I am in Las Vegas today to thank Governor Gibbons and the legislature for precisely this leadership.
But when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid came out a couple of weeks ago against three new coal-fired power plants proposed for the state, and called for a global moratorium on new coal, the Barons of Black decided to make their stand here, launching a major media campaign and tapping into the deep relationship of Sierra Pacific Power, the biggest utility, with the state's business establishment. The good news is, Nevadans are fighting back. This week saw the Nevada Clean Energy Coalition, a grassroots movement strongly supported by the Sierra Club, hit the airwaves with radio spots , and a very cool, Nevada-style billboard right outside the convention hall where the presidential candidates will be debating tonight. It's now clear that coal plants are being sold to the American people like sub-prime mortgages. All the insiders know their economics will shift dramatically in a few years when Congress finally deals with global warming, and the utilities building these plants are making sure that it is ordinary customers, not their shareholders, who get stuck with unaffordable energy costs when the piper finally has to be paid. The Nevada projects, specifically, provide that any upgrades required to deal with carbon emissions will have to be paid for by ratepayers. So, the utilities really don't care if coal pencils out; King Coal just wants guaranteed markets for a product which is otherwise about to become uncompetitive. Nevada's neighbors have figured this out (it's the last state west of the Continental Divide that has an open door for coal), and Nevadans have been here before. When the rest of the country didn't want to handle nuclear waste, they thought Nevada would simply see it as another form of gambling and proposed developing Yucca Mountain as a dumping ground. They were wrong then, and I'm betting they're wrong with this strategy of dumping the West's next coal rush on a state that doesn't need it.

What has Roswell got to do with Area 51?
Nothing, really. It is simply fun and sometimes profitable to pretend that the Project Mogul debris found in 1947, was instead the debris of an alien spacecraft made of balsa sticks, tinfoil, and rotted balloon rubber.
In real life no alien life at all is known and proven to even exist, let alone be visiting Earth.
How were the mountains the great basin across Utah and Nevada formed?

Which state is more arid Nevada or Arizona?
Nevada has extensive deserts, defined as having less than 10 inches of precipitation annually, and is commonly considered to be arid for general purposes of climatic classification. However, Nevada also has mountains which are covered by snow in winter - hence the name Nevada. Some higher elevations receive more than 40 inches of precipitation on the average, due to the orographic effects of the high mountain ranges. There are many lakes, reservoirs, springs and streams in the state, along with great groundwater basins. The broad categories of Humid or Arid are less meaningful in areas where water is imported. Western Nevada has the Newlands Project and southern Nevada imports water supplies from the Colorado River. Conversely, drought effects can be man-caused by water exports or diversions, which have impacted the Pyramid and Walker Lake areas. Rainfall is not strictly impaired across the state by the Sierra Nevada because the northern regions receive winter storm tracks from the northwest, and the southern regions receive summer monsoonal storms from the south.
