the u.s. department of energy is going to offer a loan that would help supply funds for a solar-energy power plant. there are two sides to the equation here though, due to its location in a desert, the desert tortoise, as well as other rare plants will have their environment taken over. in this respect, the project is a bad cause because it is destroying the environment that is only 45 miles from Las Vegas. on the flip side, the energy supply is renewable because it is the sun. with this being said, solar energy is being utilized in a power plant instead of say a nuclear power plant. this is a step in the right direction as far as generating power goes.
