Hey, that's my hood. 

Vegas has a lot of solar farms. I believe MGM owns one that powers all of their properties, which is most of the strip.

Congrats.  Nothing here.  A few clouds, lots of wind that keeps messing up my Halloween decorations.  I predict my house will get zero measurable rain out of all of this stuff that is forecast for the next week.

Scenery too scenic. 

There's like 8 National Parks on that map.

We should put solar panels on the tops of all of these ridges, and then a windmill right in the middle of this arch:

I suspect we're all for solar where it makes sense.  If it makes sense.  Have at it.  My real point is that it takes a lot of land to generate significant power that still is intermittent.

Tons of wind and solar there already, but there's certainly room for more.
