...Colorado River are getting lower, and that could leave the states along the basin--whose populations grew 10% from 2000 to 2006, compared with the U.S. average of 5.6%--high and dry. "We don't think this is a regular drought," says Scott Huntley, a spokesman for the Southern Nevada Water Authority (snwa). "Something is going on. Something is happening...
...visual medium it seeks to explore.“Beautiful Children” begins with the recounting of a recounting: Bock painstakingly describes the last filmed moments of Newell Ewing, a snotty 12-year-old reared by Las Vegas suburbanites, before he disappears into the oblivion of the Nevada desert. There is clear fixation with recordings: a stripper becomes comfortable with her job by imagining herself in a movie; her perpetually filthy but charismatic boyfriend schemes to break into the pornography industry; a father escapes his bleak marital situation by losing himself in pornographic films. Bock meditates...
...strategists argue that the general election will be a close-fought contest that may come down to Florida and Ohio, two states where the Clinton coalition has been strong - or, alternatively, to a cluster of smaller states that includes Arkansas, New Mexico and Nevada.

They are, in other words, willing to admit that her hard-fought primary campaign could cost the party African-American votes in November...
...That was bad luck for the Spanish renewable power company Acciona Energy, which had chosen that day to publicly inaugurate its new Nevada Solar One (NS1) thermal power plant, around 30 miles from Sin City.

...technology is as simple as any fossil fuel plant, and cheaper by material than the technologically complex photovoltaic panels. It can be more easily built up to utility-scale than photovoltaic solar - Acciona's plant, which began operation last year, produces 64 megawatts of electricity for the utility company Nevada Power, enough to light up 14,000 homes. The company's Spanish competitor Abengoa just announced a plan to build a 280-megawatt solar thermal plant outside Phoenix, which would be the largest such project in the world...
