Wind farm floated in state
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has aggressively promoted the development of renewable energy in Nevada, may be able to see some tangible results from his home in

Duke Energy on Thursday said it proposes to build a wind farm that could cost up to $600 million dollars and generate 300 megawatts a few miles southeast of Searchlight. Although Reid neither is an investor in the project nor promoted the particular wind site, he is a supporter.

Summers said Duke Energy has worked to resolve concerns in Searchlight. Read full story:
