Meanwhile - in Nevada - "Lights out"
It sure looks like American businesses are being shut out from doing what they do to benefit Americans.
The cumulative effect of denied, delayed, or "blocked by special interests" projects is that no progress is being made.
You know how "pay me now, or pay me later" works.
Pay me later always costs much more...

This is from a Las Vegas ReviewJournal.com editorial:
"Last week, tired of wasting time promoting a relatively clean, low-cost energy option opposed by the entire ruling political class, from President Obama and U.S. Sen. Harry Reid on down, utility NV Energy formally withdrew its application through the state Public Utilities Commission to build the Ely Energy Center.
The $5 billion, 1,500-megawatt central Nevada plant would have generated enough energy to power 900,000 homes. It will now be delayed at least a decade, until costly technologies can be developed to capture all such a plant's harmless emissions of carbon dioxide -- a gas necessary to life on Earth, a gas of which mankind's production is dwarfed by that churned out by the oceans and volcanoes, but to which eco-extremists attribute the supposed danger of 'global warming.'
Meantime, Air Force officials urged the federal government to deny construction applications for a $700 million solar power plant near the Nellis flight-training range, up Tonopah way, about 175 miles northwest of Las Vegas -- even though the company had already shifted its site 25 miles further away from Air Force lands than originally planned."
