USA, Nevada: Opinion: "Becoming a leader in geothermal energy production is in the best interest of our state and for our rural communities"

Tapping geothermal can propel Nevada communities forward, says Guinn (Reno Gazette Journal)

Blake Guinn is the Nevada Director of The Western Way (TheWesternWay.org), a nonprofit organization urging Western conservative leaders to acknowledge actual environmental challenges and deliver efficient, pro-market solutions.

Rural communities in Nevada are welcoming the Bureau of Land Management proposal to open up public lands for geothermal energy production.

On Sept. 17, 2019 the agency is set to launch the bidding process that would open up 141 parcels of public land totaling 386,837 acres across Churchill, Eureka, Elko, Esmeralda, Humboldt, Lander, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, Washoe and White Pine counties.

Moreover, geothermal energy is reliable and cost-effective, and isn’t tied to fuel costs. Importantly, geothermal is not an intermittent source of energy, but generates energy every day around the clock.
