ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – One of the National Security Administration’s three national laboratories is building regional testing centers around the country to field-test hardware for solar companies before their multimillion-dollar solar systems are installed in buildings.
Owner Jared Fisher has opened his new Las Vegas Cyclery shop in Summerlin. The 9,785-square-foot ultragreen bike shop opened this month as a power plant and a shrine to energy efficiency.
The average monthly NV Energy power bill will drop from $142.05 to $138.26 next year. The decline comes from a drop in the cost of natural gas to fuel the company’s power plants, as well as cuts in the rate that covers energy-efficiency programs and the lower sales that result from conservation.
Sociologists, environmental historians, historical preservationists and others came to Las Vegas from all over the nation Saturday to tell stories about how they preserved a sense of place.
