The Southern Nevada Water Authority has formerly sought to exclude "interested persons" from an upcoming hearing on the city's proposal to export huge quantities of underground water from Snake Valley. Such interested persons or parties include Utah cities, counties, Indian Tribes, environmentalists, ranchers, and others. If Vegas is successful in excluding all of the stakeholders ...
We've all heard about the many problems associated with coal: the dangers of extracting it, greenhouse gases, and the adverse health effects.

A recent study I read http://www.ornl.gov/info/ornlreview/rev26-34/text/colmain.html highlights the fact that those that live near a coal fired power plant are ...
Nicely written Defenders of Wildlife Report highlights some of the fundamental problems of the plan including the discrepancy between the amount of money Southern Nevada spends on water development vs. water conservation.

However, the next year costs quickly doubled to $2 billion, and then later in 2005 costs inflated once again to around $3 billion. A ...
There are three different projects that are at various stages in development or potential development. What they share in common is that the proposed water transfers are significant in water quantity, distance the water will travel, the high cost of the pipeline, and that the water be transfered between basins.
