Nevada utility company NV Energy is ideally positioned to benefit from solar power. Nevada is one of those states with a lot of sun, a lot of land, and not many people. The Nevada wilderness is a great place to economically develop large-scale solar projects. The cheap cost of land, abundant sunshine, and lack of serious environmental obstacles are all a boon for NV Energy — so much so that the firm just signed a deal to buy solar power at an unbelievably cheap rate of less than $0.04 per kWh.
