Our visit highlighted the future of American energy. While solar is an essential piece of Nevada’s clean energy puzzle, the most critical element of this facility is reliability. Geothermal provides always-on baseload power around the clock. This perpetual natural resource is a pillar of grid stability, offering energy independence and a truly resilien
