Energy Infrastructure

 

Windmills - Nevada  2022

Powerlines - Nevada  2022

One reason to drive through Nevada on Highway 50 is to enjoy the vast empty spaces that one encounters. But I wonder how long the views will last. 

Recently passed climate change legislation includes big money for energy infrastructure upgrades. I saw some windmills driving towards Great Basin National Park . . . but they've been there for some years now.  I was surprised to see hardly any solar installations (maybe one just east of Reno). I wonder if that means giant expanses of solar panels alongside Highway 50 in the future.
