Nevada Working Group

The Nevada Legislature held a renewable energy day in April, with exhibits hosted by government agencies, renewable energy developers and suppliers, and the power company. A lunchtime "mix and mingle" was well attended by both legislators and geothermal stakeholders. A bill placing new fees on geothermal power producers was heard after lunch, and opposition to the bill was presented by several heavyweights in the geothermal industry — Mack Shelor, Shuman Moore, Mike Steward, Dan Schochet, Ellen Allman, and others.
