This week, the Nevada Conservation League helped end the threat of a new coal-fired power plant in Ely, NV. Nevada Energy, the company that had planned to build the plant, put its plans on indefinite hold, citing economic and environmental concerns. The company plans to continue to build an energy transmission line in order to handle increased renewable energy capacity.
"NV Energy has made the best possible decision to help create green jobs in Nevada and protect our children from the mercury, arsenic and lead produced by coal plants," said Scot Rutledge, executive director of the Nevada Conservation League.
